Michelle is the perfect host. She was flexible at checkin, showed me around then gave me her cell should I need anything. The apartment was perfect for me. Beautiful windows looking down on the canal, full kitchen (no microwave) and comfortable seating and mattress. There is the Dutch staircase between the bedroom (ground floor) and living room/kitchen (2nd floor). The staircase was well light with supportive handrails so this was not an issue for me at all. Located in Jordaan which is my favorite neighborhood to stay. Close by to restaurants, yoga studio and bike rental.
