This is THE most perfect spot for exploring Amsterdam because you feel like a local, but are just a short walk away from the hub of the City. We loved exploring in the city centre but it was a total treat to literally walk out of the noise of the city into the quiet residential area along the canal where this house is. We were able to take our coffee and sit out on the bench next to the canal in the morning, potter around the local streets, and explore the local restaurants and bars at night (full of locals) without being on the tourist track. Laura and Arjan are super hosts!
