The apartment is located on the second floor of a little old building, and the stairs are quite steep, so watch out if you have bulky/heavy luggages. However the apartment itself is perfect, well furnished in contemporary style with a small balcony - great for an evening chill watching sunset with some beers and light snack. It's not very spacious, yet very clean, cosy and neatly organized. The neighbourhood is quiet, even though the bustling centre of Amsterdam is only ~20 mins away on foot or ~10 mins by public transports. There are trams and bus stops just a stone throw away and an Albert Heijn supermarket around the corner to keep you well accomodated. Check-in was done through Marc's colleagues Emiel and Karen instead, yet it was smooth and quick. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
