This lovely apartment is on the top floor of a very beautiful old historic building with fantastic views of the harbour and you can see as far west as the red light district. We found it super easy to walk or bike pretty much anywhere in central Amsterdam from it. There are plenty of small businesses nearby such as a bike rental place, corner store, cafes/bars and the gorgeous maritime museum just across the street. 10 minutes south we found a large grocery store and it was nice being able to keep the fridge stocked with fresh fruits and OJ. The amenities in the unit are fairly basic but met all our needs and we loved the skylight above the bed and the views at night were just amazing. The private bathroom was also very nice to have. Amar was a gracious host and made his laundry washer available; the only downside is climbing up several flights of stairs each time we came home...but this resulted in some funny moments and was probably good for our bodies given that Dutch food is rather heavy on the carbs and deep frying. Street noise is a bit loud (sirens, fog horns etc) but this didn’t really bother us and we slept wonderfully. Overall we had just an amazing time in this city and Amar’s AirBnB was perfect for our needs.
