Four of us (two couples) were headed on a bike and barge trip out of Amsterdam and stayed here for three nights to see the city before leaving. The apartment is spacious with a comfortable living room and kitchen. The bedrooms were a nice size and the beds quite comfortable. Yes, the stairs are on the steeper side, but one of us had a sprained ankle and had no trouble navigating the stairs. The location was perfect and minutes from the central train station, Dam square and the Jordaan area. We were able to walk everywhere. Rene was a gracious host and we look forward to returning to Amsterdam and staying here.
