I've always dreamed of staying right on a canal in Amsterdam and James' spot was the perfect place for three nights as a couple. Everything you need for a quick stay, a sun bed that served as the perfect remote working area with a view, and incredibly central location from which we could walk everywhere. It's actually on the same street as the Anne Frank house, just a couple blocks down, which is an absolute must (but make sure to book tickets well in advance). Yes the stairs are steep but that's Amsterdam and the quirk of it all, just wouldn't recommend it for anyone with mobility issues. Would stay here again in a heart beat.
