The accommodation is really well located for a visit to Amsterdam. It is part of a traditional canal side house and feels very authentic. Everything is within easy walking distance and yet the locality is quiet at night. There are numerous interesting restaurants and 'Koffie Huis' (as opposed to Coffeee Shops) in the immediate vicinity. Cees was a welcoming and helpful host. The accommodation is warm, with a slightly worn feel - but this only adds to the sense of authenticity, staying in the historical heart of the city, rather than being in a characterless modern place that could be anywhere.
