Guesthouse Amsterdam Barangay has been running since 1999 on Herenstraat, a short street between the Herengracht and Keizersgracht canals. The rooms have air conditioning and bathrooms with a walk-in shower, and there is a shared kitchen. It is a good fit if you want to be near the Anne Frank House and prepare the odd meal.
Location and getting around
The Anne Frank House is about a 5-minute walk away and Dam Square about 10. You reach Amsterdam Centraal station in about 15 minutes on foot. Rembrandtplein and the flower market (Bloemenmarkt) are about 20 minutes away, and Leidseplein about 25. For the Rijksmuseum, about 30 minutes away, the tram or a bike makes sense if you would rather not walk that far.
