The apartment is as advertised and in a very prime location. However, the communication with the people managing this accomodation caused the group angst both days…
1) I called ahead as instructed by the host, to check room was available. On arrival, there were no keys, maid was still there… said we could enter, only to then come back 20 minutes later and we were told to leave (irritating but fine).
2) whilst out one of the days, someone involved in managing the property came and took one of the keys we had - I could barely understand them over the phone, so said yes; but this presented a lot of difficulties for people getting to go out separately; further, I then get a call whilst in Amsterdam informing the group we “haven’t returned the two keys” which we certainly did… and it was annoying that I was questioned several times after the occupants literally took them whilst we were out one day - more stress.
3) Power went out to half the house, and in fairness the occupant provided a solution quickly. However, they knew it was a power box issue and so if this happens regularly, I’d suggest putting it in your notes for people booking (or somewhere it’s accessible)
