We were delighted with the apartment and thankful were had the opportunity to experience Amsterdam from this comfy gem. Would definitely recommend to anyone who would wants a quiet place that is close enough to all the tourist spots.
The apartment itself was excellent! The heater, restrooms, internet, cable television and kitchen all worked perfectly. It amazing how IKEA fixtures can transform a small space into a fully accommodating room. We loved the canal view from the living room and rear patio overlooking the courtyard. Only minor downside was getting our luggage up the narrow common stairwell which is probably standard for all of Amsterdam.
The important highlight for us was that the place was a block away from the tram leading downtown and a couple blocks from another major tram stop that takes you to the museum district. There are cool local bars and restaurants a block away on the tram trail leading downtown. Our favorite was Spanish tapas restaurant called Pata Negra, good people. We rented bikes nearby and rode to Weesp. The location looks farther on maps than it really is from downtown. No complaints here!
