Louise is an energetic and gracious host. She puts a lot into welcoming and caring for her guests. We only stayed here one night, but she welcomed us and made us coffee and sandwiches and sat with us for 30 minutes looking out onto the river Amstel and telling us stories about her life in Amsterdam. The canals on this side of Amsterdam are positively lovely. This location is ideal for getting lost on the canals and as you wander back to this flat after dark you will see the brilliant skinny bridge lighted up to guide you home.
