Shira's home was the perfect home base for my friends and I during our weekend in Amsterdam. The space is comfortable and it feels special to be staying in an authentic Dutch home. We loved bring right on the canal and enjoyed the neighborhood very much. Shira's suggestions about the neighborhood shops and restaurants provided us with a more authentic Amsterdam experience than if we sought out our own destinations in a more touristy area. We did take an Uber when we wanted to get closer to the city center, but the cost was minimal and it certainly would be walkable and bikable if you were up for the journey. Shira was very quick to respond the few times we had questions as well. I would not hesitate to stay here again the next time we visit Amsterdam!
