We were traveling as a family with two of our young adult children. We love staying in properties that offer local character, and this property delivers. Located across from a canal, it has extensive views of all the comings and goings on the canal. Beautiful! Please heed the owner's warning about the steep stairs. If you have mobility challenges in any way, this property is not for you. Having said that, my husband has a bum knee, and he was able to manage. Interior stairway offers child safety gates on the upper levels (two main levels plus a rooftop deck). The location is perfect, offering nearby grocery stores, restaurants and shops. Within walking distance of the City Center. Inside the kitchen is full of charm and fully stocked, perfect for a family sit down. Our kids enjoyed their own bedrooms while we enjoyed relaxing in the large living room fronting the canal views. Great property! It was as much a part of our visit as was Amsterdam itself, the two complimenting our travel experience.
