What a great apartment and a wonderful host! Joop was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home in the Empress Apartment. He was helpful with providing suggestions for the area and was flexible with check-in and check-out times since no one was using the apartment before or after me. Joop was truly a kind and accommodating host. The apartment itself is lovely and has a great view of one of Amsterdam's famous canals. It is an 8 minute walk from the Anne Frank house and a 10-12 minute walk from the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum. It is also located within the 9 Streets District, which has lots of little shops and restaurants. The apartment was perfectly located for everything I wanted to do in Amsterdam and a very comfortable place at which to spend my stay. I would highly recommend this apartment and host!
