You can't overstate how perfect the location of Joop's place is. Not sure it would be possible to find a better value on that aspect. The view is right on the canal. While somewhat oddly laid out, since the bathroom and extra room and fridge are at the other end of the hallway. You do not share that with anyone else, it's private. It all worked just fine and is quite spacious and clean. If you've ever been in an average Amsterdam hotel room you know how tiny a room can be and how little, if any, space there is to even lay out your suitcase. This place is more than adequate. Joop checked in on us a couple of times and was very friendly. We really had no plans to spend much time inside (outside of sleeping), since there is so much to see in Amsterdam, so this was good for us, especially since it rained 2 out of the 3 days we were there. I would definitely recommend it for those who plan to be on the move. How can you not in since an amazing city.
