Alex made us feel very welcome and answered all our questions and offered to help with anything if we needed assistance.
The location was perfect for discovering Amsterdam on foot. We were close to all kinds of shops and museums etc. The tram stop was immediately outside the door and came by very frequently. We didn't need to use it except on our arrival and departure. About 10 minutes or less from Central Station.
This is a very old house , as described by Alex, so don't let the steep stairs and worn walls of the entrance hall put you off: the room is as shown in the pictures and is quite roomy and comfortable. Lots of heat and hot water provided. The wi-fi was excellent. Though on a busy street it was surprisingly quiet at night and in the mornings. We had a very comfortable sleep in a very comfy bed! We found the fridge a very good asset to us.I could find no fault with the apartment except I would like at least one bright light for reading our travel guide.
As others have said in reviews the high toilet is a little inconvenient but you get used to it. And when you love the convenience of the location and all the other assets outlined above, it doesn't really matter!
Before we travelled to Amsterdam I asked Alex would he consider supplying a kettle and two cups but he graciously declined!It would have been so convenient! But there are numerous cafes round about.
Alex didn't bother us during our stay and was easy when it came to our departure. I would recommend this apartment for a short stay in fabulous Amsterdam and it would be our dream to return and hopefully Alex will host us again!
