CHARMING LIVING ROOM WITH CHARACTER AND OPEN VIEWS The sunny living room at the front of the apartment is a wonderful place to relax.

The living and dining rooms are separated by traditional en-suite sliding doors with stained glass. The original built-in cupboards add to the authentic character and give the apartment that distinctive Amsterdam feel.
