Situated on one of the main canals in historic Amsterdam, my companion and I chose this home to take advantage of its location. What we also found was a cool, comfortable home to relax in, after our days of exploration. It is compact, but well equipped. There is a fridge and a microwave for basic food needs, plenty of storage, and a comfy bed.
You will find a bounty of restaurants, unique shops, and museums within easy walking distance and plenty to do for all interests. One of my personal favorites was the Anne Frank walking tour. We were led through the formerly-Jewish part of Amsterdam, learning what happened to the neighborhood during WWII, as well as the Frank family's experience.
Note: When walking around town be mindful of bicyclists—look both ways, then move quickly and decisively when crossing the bike paths.
If you're looking for a good place to come back to after a day on the town, look no further than here. Thanks again, Jelka, for your hospitality.
