Cannot find the appropriate words to describe our stay in Amsterdam, except to say it was absolutely spectacular. The location is close to the myriad museums, restaurants and other places of interest in the city and has a splendid view of the canal. The place was sparkling clean and Eric had a lovely selection of snacks, including a very nice bottle of wine. The stairs are a bit steep, so this location is better suited for people who feel comfortable with that scenario. It really is in an ideal location. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the boats, walkers and people on bicycles meander by. Eric was very welcoming and attentive!
