Ad and Anna are superb and very accommodating hosts - even when we had to reschedule arrival date and time and helpful even after we had vacated. We only wish we could have stayed longer. There is no view to the outside from the private space so possibly we wouldn't have wanted to stay there for an extended time but the studio itself is sparkly clean, quirky, stylish, spacious and comfortable with a mass of local 'what's on' info is available to look through. Best of all was sitting on the seat outside the studio mornings and evenings and watching Amsterdamers walk or cycle past, plotting our own move to this beautiful city! Jordaan is the most fabulous place in all of Amsterdam to stay. So close to the centre but quiet- village-like. An urban village! We loved the totally different approach to public and private space: people sitting outside their houses; living behind large windows - after all only the undignified would peer in(!); exuberant flower on display inside; pots, flowers and climbers planted in every tiny available outside space. Staying in Studio 53 in Jordaan has inspired a completely different approach to how we wish to live in our house now we are home.
