Not super into this place and surprised by all of the excellent reviews. It's fine: the beds were very comfortable and the space was quiet and dark for good sleeping. I found the host not very welcoming: there are a TON of check in rules including that if your train or plane is late and you arrive after 10pm you just have to get a hotel. There were a lot of demands ahead of time sent in caps which just felt very unwelcoming. He won't meet you to check you in unless you call or message him when you arrive at the train station and then again when you're outside of the house. We basically got a SIM card because we felt stressed out about meeting him and honestly it just felt overkill. I messaged him twice when we were leaving the train station and then again when we were ten minutes away and then he wasn't at the house when we got there and I had to get back on my phone and message him again. It took him only 5 minutes at that point to meet us, but given that we'd already been in contact it felt rude and unwelcoming that he wasn't there to let us in. If you won't have a phone, don't book this place. Had my parents been alone they wouldn't have been able to get in to the apartment. There's a serious lack of quality furniture. The kitchen chairs squeal SUPER loud when you sit in them, which makes it uncomfortable to hang around in the kitchen. There is one super uncomfortable couch in the living room which is not nice to sit or cozy up on and you can't really sit with your group in here. He needs to invest in some more furniture / make it more cozy. It's such a big spacious apartment, but without enough furniture to make it comfortable and nice to spend time in. In terms of cleanliness, the floors were dusty and some of the linens had a little dirt on them. The trash had not been taken out. That being said, otherwise pretty clean/fine. We didn't feel icky staying here or anything. The apartment is very dark with very little natural light. The bedrooms have no windows. The beds are very comfortable (yay!). You can kind of hear the neighbors sometimes, but we did sleep well here. It's a 40 minute walk from the train station or a train and bus ride (pretty, down the main canal, but also 7.50 euro per person per ride...) of about the same time (but significantly less difficult). We didn't do this, but apparently it's 100 euro to take a water taxi. Just expect time and effort getting here or getting back to the train station from here. Not an easy apartment to get to! The wifi is fast, but there is absolutely no service in the apartment for calls or data. You have to take the trash out...
