Jelka’s place was exactly as described, right on the canal a bit below street-level with a large window looking right out to it. Jelka even left a book with notes on local places to go or avoid, small snacks and coffee/wine, which was super sweet. The location can’t be beat and the apt is a short walk to the city center or the beautiful Jordaan area. I would definitely stay with Jelka again, and can’t wait to return to Amsterdam.
