Carolijn’s apartment was located in the perfect area. There are restaurants and grocery stores nearby, as well as a nearby Metro and public transportation. Very easy to get into central Amsterdam.
We had issues with check in and communication and the apartment was not ready until two hours after check in time. But, once the place was ready, it was clean and we enjoyed the apartment.
Keep in mind that this is a residential place. It not necessarily quiet. Sounds from upstairs can be a bit loud and yes, there were children playing outside, which we actually liked hearing the laughter. However, the heating and water system were overly loud throughout the night.
