The canal house was as advertised. The location was excellent...near bars, restaurants, shops, etc., but far enough away for some quiet. We walked to the majority of the places we went. The apartment is spacious and well stocked and obviously thoroughly cleaned before we checked in. Its is comprised of two floors (2nd and 3rd floor) and there are some narrow and curved stairs to access both floors (probably typical of Amsterdam). The kitchen and living area were on one floor and the bedrooms and bathroom were on the other floor. The TV had approximately 30 channels to chose from, which was nice. The apartment also had a washer and dryer and a fancy coffee maker. Overall, we would recommend this apartment.
