Roel & Mirjam Are very good hosts, although we did not have the chance to meet them personally. There was a little difficulty getting the keys to the apartment but they made all good effort to get them to us and we appreciated all of their effort. The apartment overlooks a beautiful canal where there is lots of activity throughout the day and evening to observe. It was very enjoyable! The large windows expanding across the living room wall were able to be opened for air as well as open fully for wonderful views outside. The living room is open and spacious which allowed for our whole group to visit in the evening. The neighborhood has a couple of grocery stores within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Also many restaurants and places to visit are within a 10-15 minute Uber ride. The kitchen is small but well appointed with all the things you need and there is a nice little balcony looking out the backside of the apartment for a cup of coffee or a nice view in the morning. The apartment is small for a Group of any size. It might best accommodate a couple and a third person. The bathroom is a jack and Jill bathroom, kind of. You have to go through the bathroom to enter the second bedroom which made it a little difficult for us four adults staying there. The stairs leading up to the second floor apartment were very steep and winding up to the two flights. It was difficult for us middle-ageTD with knee problems and I suspect it would be difficult for small children as well. This is a wonderful place for some younger folks who don’t mind steep steps and walking some to get to places of interest in the neighborhood and community, as well as the stores. We highly recommend the Viator country tour that took us to see the windmills, cheese factory, and wooden shoe factory, as well as a fishing village which we got to by a nice boat trip on a the very large lake. It was a terrific value for all that we saw and did! Also the Rijks Museum is a must see! We very much enjoyed Amsterdam!
