We had a great few days at Monique's place. It is perhaps better in real life than the pictures (which are great). The location must be one of the best spots in Amsterdam. (We HIGHLY recommend Restaurant Noordwest which is just a short stroll away). It was spotlessly clean, is beautifully appointed, our bed was as comfortable as our bed at home. Monique left us a fantastic 'welcome pack' which included cheese, biscuits and a gift. Monique kindly let us drop our bags ahead of check-in and we were fortunate that there were no in-coming guests so a late check-out made our logistics much easier. We recommend the canal house unreservedly and would definitely stay there again if we were back in Amsterdam. Thanks to Monique.
