Well positioned away from the hustle and bustle of the Jordaan. Yet close enough to be there with a brisk 10 minute walk.
The apartment is on the 4th and 5th floors (USA definition with the ground floor being the first floor) of the building. The Dutch craftsmen of yester-year made a mean staircase, and by "mean", I mean steep and narrow.
The stairs (no elevator) are not suitable for the elderly, nor luggage much bigger than carry-on size.
Stairs aside, we enjoyed our time there, and would recommend to others to stay, its a very relaxed environment with lovely local canal views.
You have all the necessities on your door step, cafe, groceries, coffee shops and restaurants. Of special note is the very quaint Parisian style wine bar just a 2 minute walk away with a nice park for young kids to run around in whilst the parents sip and nibble accordingly.
Despite the stairs, would visit and stay again.....
