We chose this place primarily based on two criteria: 1) we needed 2 bedrooms, and 2) price. It was a little farther away from many of the goodies in Amsterdam, but that was ok with us since we like to walk a lot when going to European cities. This was our first trip to Amsterdam - so we were surprised at the steepness, narrowness, etc, of the stairways - but we soon learned that this is normal there. Handicapped people - I'd chose another place on the ground level. We felt that the cleaning crew could have done a better job and we also felt that this place could have been more tidy. The host was very communicative, and even though we had issues with the checkin procedure he quickly attended to the issue and resolved them to our satisfaction. The couches were comfy, the neighborhood was quiet, and we enjoyed walking all around Amsterdam from this location. If he addresses the clean/tidy items, I'd recommend this place.
