This studio apartment is great for a couples get away to Amsterdam. The Dutch stairs are an instant eye opener to just how different the construction and architecture is outside of the United States. Be aware, as advertised, these stairs are steep and present challenge for any large luggage.
From the studio there is a gorgeous view of the street, bike path, canal, and shops below which provides for a much more authentic feel of being in Amsterdam that a hotel could never offer.
The amenities are basic which is to be expected. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Bath towels, bath mat, and hand towels are provided and were all clean, folded, and neatly presented. An air cooling device is present but was not used during our stay.
A small refrigerator is provided which was found stocked with local beer (and wine).
The bathroom is a cozy, clean, and comfortable wet-bathroom. The sink is notably small but not difficult or frustrating to use. If you are expecting a large vanity type bathroom sink, this isn’t it. Bathroom toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided (there are also nearby stores to purchase your own within both walking and biking distance).
The bikes that come with it were a really nice addition in that it simplified the need to rent bikes from elsewhere. The instructions for location, use, and security of the bikes were clearly detailed in the check-in instructions. Bikes were well maintained and a real blessing to get around the city. (Most everything was a 10 minute bike Ride or less away).
The noise off the street can be a bit loud at times as the street car, bike paths, and road are directly below the window. If the window is closed the noise is a non-issue.
Overall, it’s a very pleasant and cozy place to stay and experience Amsterdam. We loved our time here and made our trip very memorable.
