We stayed at this historic canal house for two nights while awaiting to board our cruise ship. The location is fabulous, a short walk from the tram stop and two blocks from canal boat tours - plus out the door is the amazing skinny bridge! We arrived earlier than expected and Louise invited us in to get off our feet, offered us something to drink and let us cool down. She immediately took us under her wing, made arrangements for us to get a taxi to the ship on day of departure and even took the time to figure out where the cruise terminal was as we had no idea. Louise was the “hostess with the mostest”. She went out and got us fresh bread, meat and cheese, preserves, coffee and some fresh fruit. Even some fresh sweet bread for breakfast! She even went as far to spoil me and do a load of laundry for us. Her canal house was delightful, roomy and offered everything we needed to catch up on some sleep and prepare for our trip. The bed was so comfortable that we overslept on the day we were to leave. Louise was there to help with anything we needed. Our son had lost his camera lens so she called around until she found a shop that had exactly what he needed. Louise was kind, friendly and went above and beyond to assure we had a most pleasant stay. If ever in Amsterdam again we will be staying here again! Thank you Louise for everything!
