I knew I would love Amsterdam and the apartment from the first time I communicated with Barbara. She is welcoming, warm, dependable and loves her city. Her apartment is as charming and authentic as the city itself. The apartment was spacious enough for 3 people although two would be ideal. We hosted a dinner of local foods (the goudsa, page and brown breads are amazing) in the dining area. We shopped for all the treats including amazing pastries in the perfect neighborhood right outside our door.
The Brouwersgracht Canal embodies all the beauty and delightful sites of the city. We could sit in front of our picture window facing the canal and watch the bikes, people, dogs, houseboats for hours. If I return I will only stay in this Jordaan neighborhood and hope Barbara's apartment will be available. Many thanks for a perfect trip.
