An ideal location to get a feel for how normal life could be in Amsterdam. De Jordaan neighborhood is not at all touristy and located by some of the most beautiful spots in town. The room is located at the back of her home, somewhat like a "Granny Flat" and there is a half kitchen, not set up for cooking. You have to walk through the bottom level of her home, often interacting with people there but I found that to be very pleasant. Rent a bike and enjoy your stay. I would highly recommend this place and hope to return.
