Edith was very helpful in describing the neighborhood and the best way to get to the room, which truly is in the heart of Amsterdam. She was very attentive and welcoming which was especially nice because it was our first visit to Amsterdam. Edith provides a (multilingual) folder full of useful information about attractions and travel. The breakfast was a divine array of fruits, breads, egg, cheeses and meats which catered for my vegetarian preference too. The room is exactly as photographed: spotless, warm and quiet with a lovely canal view - although be mindful that there are steep stairs up to the room. Everywhere is within walking distance - be sure to visit the Cheese Museum opposite the Anne Frank House and take a cruise down the canal in the evening to really appreciate the historic atmosphere of Amsterdam. Myself and my boyfriend had a wonderful birthday trip and cannot wait to return as there is so much to do. Edith, and her wonderful room, really made the trip all the better. Do not hesitate to stay here!
