My friend and I visited Amsterdam from the states in early November and stayed at Joop’s spot. First of all, Joop is a very responsive, accommodating, and courteous host. This place couldn’t be more perfectly located for anyone to go and explore all parts of Amsterdam—10min walk from red light and 10min walk to all the museums. The best shops, restaurants, and canals are all right outside.
This isn’t the cleanest, comfortable, or most modern place you’ll ever stay. For me and my friend it was fine because of how much time we spent outside. A few little touches could make this place greater: a dresser or two, some new light bulbs, and some new furniture.
