The apartment is the best place I've stayed at while in Amsterdam (and I've stayed at quite a few places). It on a beautiful canal, a little bit off the beaten track, so you don't get hordes of tourists outside your window, but a peaceful canal with lots of boat houses and beautiful buildings. At the same time it's very close to the center of town and near one of the nicest squares in Amsterdam - Noordermarkt, surrounded by charming cafes and housing a beautiful farmers market and flea market (checks the days). The apartment is absolutely charming - as it appears in the photos with a lovely backyard. I interacted with the son of the owner - and he was very accommodating and helpful. I'll return next time I'm in the city.
