You can stay in a nice hotel with smallish rooms and lots of other people. Or you can stay in a place like Annamien’s with a small bedroom and open, bright, high-ceiling Ed living room with big Amsterdam windows looking out on the lights of the city reflected in the canals. Like having a distant relative who leaves you their flat when you come to visit. Added bonus: it’s minutes from busy, edgy, bustling, crowded AMS only on a tiny, leafy island all its own with a few eateries and shops. PS and great neighbors!. Rembrandts house is just up the street.
