The property is in a residential area of 19th century buildings close to the historic centre. It’s a short walk or tram ride to the main attractions. A Lidl supermarket is around the corner and the nearby shopping street has several good cafes. Lisa is very friendly and helpful, and replied quickly to messages. We had a problem with the fridge, but Lisa is looking to replace it. A few points to keep in mind. Like many properties in Amsterdam, there’s a long and steep staircase to access the apartment. Heating is provided by two old fashioned gas heaters which are operated manually. There’s enough space to make tea or coffee and breakfast, but larger meals would be tricky.
