We had a great stay in the Jordaan at Sabien's place - the three of us had ample space, and felt very much at home in the sunny and well-kept apartment. Location does not get much better than this - we walked from this apartment to all the main sights of Amsterdam within 20 minutes, and were well placed to enjoy the restaurants of the Jordaan and evening walks along the canals. Street is quiet and neighbourhood is very safe.
