The pictures do not do the justice to the apartment; it is so gorgeous in person. There are beautiful views from every window. We loved sitting by the window in the living room enjoying the canal view. The location is perfect and walking distance to restaurants and bars. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was spacious with great water pressure. We also appreciated having a washing machine available. Els responded promptly to all our questions. We would be happy to stay in the apartment again next time we are in Amsterdam.
