Vanessa's place is exceptional: stylish, open, beautiful, and also highly functional. The location is quiet but easily accessible to the wonderful Jordaan area of Amsterdam. I stayed with my husband and two teenaged sons, and it was perfect for our family. I did not meet Vanessa, who was on vacation, but the woman who let us in was very friendly and helpful. I particularly enjoyed the apartment's balcony on the canal, a quiet, scenic spot for breakfast or for a glass of wine at the end of a day of sightseeing. I highly recommend Vanessa's place.
