Holland - Amsterdam - House on Prinsengracht 01_DSC3259

When I chose my accomodation for my trip to Amsterdam I found hotels seemed quite expensive so I opted to use Airbnb for the first time and we rented a basement apartment in this canalside house.

 

Our characterful 60m2 apartment was about the same price as a 15m2 room in a hotel but the Prinsengracht location meant we were only minutes from the centre of the city and yet tucked away in a quiet location. If / when I return to Amsterdam I'll almost certainly return to the same place. If anyone's interesting in getting the details drop me a flickrmail and I'll send you a weblink.

From Wikipedia : "Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin as a dam of the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), a result of its innovative developments in trade. During that time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds.

 

In the 19th and 20th centuries the city expanded, and many new neighborhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List."
