Jo was excellent in her role at welcoming us, suggesting places to visit and generally insight to the area. Jordaan is a great place to be located because of the choice of places, on your doorstep, for eating, drinking and shopping; and well located to the centre of the city. The house suited 4 of us well and is amply equipped and homely with very comfortable beds. The steepness of the stairs was a shock but we realised this is generally a feature in many Amsterdam homes.
