When I rented Annette’s place, I thought it looked really lovely. It’s on one of the inner city canals. The room is bright and sunny. What I wasn’t aware of is that it resides in the most wonderful neighborhood in Amsterdam known as Jordaan. Jordaan is a “happening”place with fabulous restaurants, galleries, interesting neighbors, and an unbelievably extensive farmers market on Saturday mornings featuring much of Holland’s lush produce, cheese, eggs, baked goods plus artisans and folks selling interest clothing and antique gewgaws of all sorts. We had a fabulous 24 hours there.
One thing that may not be clear about the place is that the bathroom, while fully functional, is about the size of an airplane bathroom - truly. So we opted not to shower since we were there such a short time.
