The canal apartment is a tastefully decorated and appointed space. We enjoyed the small touches, including the bottle of wine and beers left for us by our host. It was fun to walk up to our little door and sneak into our private space. The bathroom and tub are top notch, as others have pointed out. Also, one of us is 6'2" and didn't have any problem with the ceiling height. The location simply cannot be bested. I took a chair to the canal side and watched the tour boats, rental boats, and local boats cruise through the canal on a sunny day. Wonderful. Proximity to the Jordaan is excellent and so access to interesting shops and restaurants abounds. We were not disappointed!
