Karin, her husband Victor, and their son, made my son and I feel incredibly welcome in their home. This spectacular 5 floor residence with canal frontage on two sides is just a few meters away from Rembrandt's childhood home and a block from a popular, traditional, Amsterdam gathering place. Seriously, tourists would stop in front of the place all day long to take vacation photographs. Several luxury hotels, with rooms at 10 times the price, are within view. The room itself is very tasteful, clean, and beautifully appointed. Do yourself a favor and book this place when you're next in Amsterdam.
