Cool place. Amsterdam is a pretty walkable city. This place is like a 10 minute walk from the Van Gogh museum but to get to other areas that you may want to see it closer to 20 - 25.
Has a nice view. You have a bed in the studio and then the couch can turn into a bed as well. You have a little kitchenette but it’s not suitable for anything major. My guest and I didn’t need it so it was not an issue.
You do need to keep noise to a minimum after 7:00 pm. Wasn’t a problem for us but just an FYI.
For checkout you basically need to clean the apartment and return it to the way you received it. Washing, drying and putting away all dishes, Collecting all sheets and towels and putting them in the washer, take out the trash and wipe the floors. This was the first check out I’ve had like this but my guest and I were rarely there so we didn’t make much of a mess so it was easy to clean.
You share a private hallway with the host Ric’s place. The only drawback is you can only lock the place when you are inside it. So when you are out, the place is not locked but Ric is the only one that has access to it.
There are no shoes allowed in the place so you take them off in that private hallway. Do be careful going up the stairs, especially if you are wearing socks.
As for the stairs in general, you have to climb three flights in total. It’s not bad but they are typical Dutch stairs that are common everywhere in the area. However if you are coming from America they may look insane to you haha. Just hold on to the rails and you’ll be fine.
Ric is super responsive and was there to check us in and explain everything about the apartment. He has suggestions on what to eat, bike rentals, and other things to do in the area.
