  • I met a Dutch grandma in Amsterdam and she wanted to show me her Amsterdam Canal House at a prime location. She has been living in that house for 64 years! Watch on this video what happened after that. #amsterdam #amsterdamhouses #amsterdamcanalhouse #netherlands

    On my first visit to Amsterdam we stayed in a canal home, and the steep stairs is what I remember most about the house other than the magnificent views! She is sitting on a gold mine!!

    Hello Murat, its a lovely canal house, but the interior is only typical for older Dutch people!

    you see all the thimbles in a wooden rack, that rack was not made for this but to house typesetting lead letters for letterpress printing. As this type of printing became obsolete the wooden type cases were re-used as decorative wall pieces that could be filled with all kinds of "prullaria" (knick knacks) in this case a collection of thimbles.

    Watched this when you were live streaming and this nine minutes of delightful spontaneity by the lady and your embracement of her gesture is what made this your best walk of which I have seen a few.
    You're a perfect gentleman and a credit to your city.

    Murat, Thanks for showing this house! It was like a timecapsule and I think that not much has changed in the last decade. I remember that kind of interior from the 1980’s. Very interesting but also a bit dangerous for the old lady.

    Even. Though I grew up in Holland and lived with one flight of stairs, I was shocked by the steepness of grandma’s stairs as well as three flights more for bathrooms, bedroom and kitchen. How can she live like that, does she have to go up and down to cook or go to bed! Also the top level, zolder, seems to be exposed to moisture on the walls, sad to see.
