The living and kitchen area of the lower level in our hotel room. Upstairs had a bedroom and full bath. There was a powder room on the lower level, but it was probably the smallest that I've seen at about 3 x 4 feet (1 x 1.3 m).

The Netherlands, a country in northwestern Europe, is known for a flat landscape of canals, tulip fields, windmills and cycling routes. Amsterdam, the capital, is home to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and the house where Jewish diarist Anne Frank hid during WWII. Canalside mansions and a trove of works from artists including Rembrandt and Vermeer remain from the city's 17th-century "Golden Age." ― Google
