Evert's beautiful Canal house apartment was perfectly located to walk to the nightlife, cafes and bars of Amsterdam. It was an excellent base to explore the museum quarter (tram ride away), cheese shops and arts and antiques stores. Evert kindly helped us with our bags up the stairs (which were almost vertical!) and was welcoming, a great communicator and generous host, leaving Dutch treats for us. Whilst the area is lively and full of night life, we slept soundly and would recommend Evert's apartment for anyone looking for an authentic Amsterdam experience!
