This was my first time in Amsterdam, and this place was wonderful. The room and private bath are lovely and very clean, the bed is big and comfortable, and your private entrance opens onto the Prinsengracht canal. Coffee maker with supplies and refrigerator included. There is a bench outside your door so you can sit and take it all in. The neighborhood is beautiful, with all sorts of practical (grocery store) and interesting shops (my favorite was The Frozen Fountain, 645 Prinzengracht, for authentic Dutch textiles -- I bought all my souvenirs here, for myself and family). There is a cute pub with good food up the street on one corner, Myrabelle, and a good coffee shop on the adjacent corner to the pub, across the canal. The location is within walking distance to the Anne Frank house, the van Gogh museum, the nine streets, the flower market... it really can't be beat. I arrived one day before my husband joined me, met Dorien upon arrival, and she was very gracious and helpful. I arrived in the early morning, before I was able to get into the room, and Dorien let me leave my bags at her house so I could go off exploring for several hours. I recommend this place very highly and would like to return!
