We LOVED this apartment! We are so glad we booked this for our recent trip to Amsterdam. It was sparkling clean, full of thoughtful touches and very well appointed. Being greeted with wine, beer and snacks was wonderful as well as their own book of tourist tips and info. A very nice selection of books and games made us feel at home (though we were too tired to play them after long days of sightseeing). The beds were wonderfully comfortable with plenty of pillows.
The location was great, we loved the neighborhood and all the options it afforded. Getting to and from the city center was a breeze. More than one local seemed impressed we were staying in de Pijp! Yes there is a steep, windy flight of stairs but that is part of the character of the city. I would not let that deter you but recommend packing light!
We wish we could have done the private boat tour but the weather did no cooperate. I would definitely stay here again and avail myself of that special opportunity.
