This is an enormous space in a really great central location. Everything is in working distance. Being a 17th century basement brings certain challenges (the old beams do shed dust and there were weird noises from the ceiling void and pipework on occassions) but the space means that the owners can provide a ping-pong table, a weights area, darts and a traditional Dutch Sjoelen (shuffleboard) game. There is also very good, considering it's a basement, free, wifi. There is an excellent restaurant just opposite on the other side of the canal, plus every restaurant you could possibly want, just a short walk away. The owners kindly left a bottle of wine and breakfast basics. The toilet and shower room are separate. The living area was comfy, nice and warm and I imagine it will be nice and cool on hot days. The owners very kindly let us leave our bags both before and after check in/out, which we really appreciated. Lots of information leaflets are available. We greatly enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam.
