The location of this apt. was perfect. Sitting in front of the canal view windows each morning as we had our croissants from a nearby bakery and coffee from Joop's Nespresso machine was a treat. Unfortunately, we experienced the mosquito problem as well. There was no screen on a front window, but too hot to close the windows. A fan for the hot evenings would help immensely, and would mask the street noise in the summer. But we would definitely come here against to use as a base for exploring Amsterdam.
