This apartment is exactly as listed. The canal-side location is absolutely beautiful, and it's in the popular Jordaan neighborhood: central, convenient, wonderful shops and dining. (the Anne Frank Museum is 2 blocks away). Just walking around is a great pleasure. It's also close to a tram line if your feet get tired.
The apartment is sparkling clean and nicely renovated, and the hosts were terrific.
One particular advantage is that the apartment is in a newer building. While the dimensions of the canal-side buildings are small, this basement apartment has headroom that original buildings lack. If you are over 6' tall, you will be very comfortable here. Also, being a basement apartment it also does not have the very tight, winding staircase that is common otherwise in Amsterdam, so it's relatively easy to get in and out, especially with your luggage.
