The pictures accurately represent the apartment. There is a steep climb up stairs to get to the apartment . We found the stairs to be charismatic and part of the old-world charm. We are in our late 50's and my wife and I had no problems at all with luggage and walking up and down the entry stairs each day. However, older visitors might have a difficult time navigating them. The apartment is modern, clean, and efficient. The refrigerator was quite handy for drinks and left overs. The locations is terrific! Being in the city center make the many big attractions such as the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Rijksmuseum within easy walk distance. We had a wonderful time in Amsterdam and Tjakko's apartment added to our memorable experience. Tjakko was a perfect host being responsive to communications, friendly, caring, and helpful. We asked him to arranged for a taxi service to get us to the airport our last day. Tjakko graciously set up the taxi and it was there right on time! Tjakko is a great guy and a wonderful host! We'd definitely recommend his apartment to help make your Amsterdam visit a positive and enjoyable experience.
