The apartment is on the second floor with no lift so getting large suitcases upstairs was tough but doable. Apartment is close to everything with great restaurants right around the corner. Easy walking distance from pretty much everything! Be careful for bikes, motor bikes and even cars as the streets are very busy, and drivers are pretty aggressive. Amsterdam is not like anything you have seen before! It was a little noisy at night if you leave the windows open, but not too bad.
