The apartment was great and just as pictured and described. The steps in this beautiful 1600's building were a subject of a lot of fun discussion about architecture and the history of the time. We found the answer to how and why these building were built tall and narrow on our tours. We did a 3 hour bike tour and learned a lot about the architecture. They aren't for the faint of heart, but my family had little trouble, as we are used to walking and climbing steps. Our host was in touch with us all the time and answered any requests or questions we had promptly. The location was perfect for us. It was in walking distance to major locations such as the Ann Frank museum, Van Gogh Museum, Rijk Museum. The kitchen was well equipped to make dinner on New Year's Eve
And New Year's Day when stores were closed. The big living room window made seeing the fireworks a memorable experience. All in all we had a fabulous time in Amsterdam and would definitely rent this apartment again.
