Jelka provided prompt, accurate and helpful info at booking and as the check-in time approached. She’s very efficient and professional. The apartment space is smartly optimized for its unique layout and its charming historic location. Note: the ground level view of the canal is temporarily interrupted by construction fencing blinds at the canal bulkhead along her block of Herengracht. And Jelka dutifully advises that fact in her posting details. So there was no surprise of their being construction. (There is practically no noise from the construction work, so it’s really a minor and tolerable temporary situation).
I recommend this flat if you want to be central to the on-canal experience without paying the premium price of other hotel alternatives like Hoxton or Hegra.
