The chance to stay in a 500 year old house is a rarity and so expectations must be placed in that context. The apartment is on the fifth floor and accessed by some very steep and narrow stairs, which simply goes with the territory but still presents a challenge. The attic room is quirky with plenty of storage space and a comfortable bed, good fridge and cooker and plentiful supply of kitchen implements, although we only ate breakfast in. The location of the apartment is brilliant, on the edge of the red light district and within easy walking distance of all major attractions. Being so high up we were not disturbed by any noises from the street.
Mark was very good at keeping in touch before our arrival with directions and suggestions for activities and restaurants, which we made good use of with our grandson who works in Amsterdam.
