Amsterdam--Home away from Home

    For this trip,  I am traveling to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with my daughter and her two children, my grandchildren, ages 12, and 13.   Granddaughter K is 12, and grandson S is 13.  We are in Amsterdam for two weeks June, 2018 into July, 2018.  We are renting an old canal-side house on Prinsengracht, ½ block from a tram stop.  From this location we are a short walk or tram ride from the most interesting parts of Amsterdam.
      Our house is a typical old canal house, four floors up, with a tight circular stairs.  Entrance, and reception room, kitchen and dining are on the ground level, up one level to the living room, with TV.  Up another level to two bedrooms and bath, then up the highest level for two more bedrooms.  One of the highest bedrooms even has a loft, still higher with more steep stairs.  The kids, with their young legs have the 4th floor bedrooms.  My daughter and I are one flight down on the 3rd floor.  We are getting very good at remembering to bring down everything we may need or think we may need so we don't have to climb the steep steps again to retrieve something we forgot.   We are well pleased with our Amsterdam home.
Our house is the one with the larger black door and circle window above the door.
