Claartje runs a wonderful B&B. She is friendly and helpful. And she provides a great breakfast of granola, yoghurt, fruit, cheese, and a variety of tasty breads. Plus you get to enjoy a view of the canal as you eat breakfast. The room I stayed in was clean and roomy, with old-fashioned high ceilings that made it appear even roomier. Finally, the bed was comfortable (especially if you like a firm bed). Claartje’s home is a block away from a stop for Tram #14, which will quickly take you to downtown Amsterdam and the Centraal Station. Or you could take a very enjoyable walk into central Amsterdam. If you’re staying near central Amsterdam, I would recommend Claartje’s B&B.
