Great apartment in a non-touristy section of town. Everything we needed with the added bonus of watching boats go by in the canal from our windows. The draw bridge was right across from us. There were some really good restaurants right there but it was an easy walk to all the tourist attractions with the Central Station only a 15 minute walk away.
It was our first visit so we were grateful to have Hans give us some guidance on where to go and what we might like to do. He even arranged a taxi for our departure to the airport.
We had no problems with the narrow staircase leading up to the apartment but for someone who has problems with stairs, it would be a big challenge. All staircases in Amsterdam appear to be narrow so beware.
The apartment was clean, bright with everything we needed to cook and store food. Beds and couch/chairs were comfortable. This apartment was just what we needed.
