We (family of four) had a truly great weekend staying at the Canal House. The apartment is not only really comfortable and incredibly quiet but it has a wonderful kitchen in the basement, which is also cosy for sitting in and enjoying a glass of wine while the sun sets in the evening. It is in a superb location, very close to the centre of Amsterdam and many famous landmarks. We walked everywhere (Opera House, Rijksmuseum, Concertgebouw......) and could travel to and from the Central Station easily by tram within 15 minutes. Our host, Ed, could not have been more welcoming or have made us feel more at home. His clearly written information about the area and the apartment made our life easy. All-in-all: it is hard to imagine a more perfect place for getting the most out of a short trip to Amsterdam!
