Where to sleep in Amsterdam

As we are B&B addicts, from the beginning we were clear that on our trip to Amsterdam we would use this type of accommodation. Searching the internet we found several accommodation websites in Amsterdam. Staying in a 17th century Dutch house, sleeping next to one of the most emblematic canals in Amsterdam (Herengracht), being in the city center and 100 m away. of Rembrand Square and the score based on user comments (9.7) from the website we consulted, meant we finally decided on the B&B Herengracht Apartment.

The experience at the B&B was very positive. The warm welcome, the attention, kindness and close treatment of Gijsje and Chan (owners of the B&B) and the excellent breakfast they served us force me to recommend it to you. You can search for accommodation in Amsterdam at this link.
