This is a special lodging experience for the independent traveler. The rooms are in a 17th C Dutch house in the terrific Jordaan District of Amsterdam. The first floor room where we stayed is smartly appointed, with loads of light from the wall of windows looking out onto the narrow, picturesque street. The room has a very comfortable bed, with air-conditioning, responsive hosts, and is reasonably priced. The Blossom House is near many cafes and stores, the canals, and public transportation. As the owners indicate on their website, if you have any mobility issues, it’s best to reserve the downstairs room to avoid the narrow stairs to the first floor.
