If you want an apartment in old Amsterdam, and yet away from the heavy bicycle and foot traffic of the central area, then this is the Airbnb for you. It is located on the 1st floor (European), 2nd floor (American). The one flight of stairs is steep, but Hans helps you with your luggage. You quickly get used to the steep stairs, common in Amsterdam. It is in an old town building but Hans has added new touches, the bathroom and kitchen, but Hans has blended the new with the old very well.
Hans is an excellent host. He lives in the apartment above and is always available to help you. The apartment is tastefully decorated with a huge expanse of windows to enjoy the view of the neighborhood life unfolding below you. There are excellent restaurants very close by, including “One Fish Two Fish” and “A Tavola.” We recommend them both. A decent grocery store is just around the corner. Old Amsterdam is a great walking city, with just about everything within 20-25 minutes. The Hop On Hop Off bus and canal boat are in front of Central Station, a 15-20 minute walk from the apartment.
