What a lovely way to experience summer in Amsterdam, right on the water! It was particularly hot in July, but the breeze from the water made it bearable. The Jordaan neighbourhood is perfect - it’s close to all the action but super quiet and not touristy. Grocery stores with abundant options, huge variety of places to eat, Vondelpark close by, even a yoga studio within minutes. Bike rental definitely recommended! We had such a great stay.
