Many points speak in favor of making Steven’s apartment a starting point for excursions in Amsterdam; however, there are also many things that bothered me so that I cannot recommend the apartment all in all.
It is located in a quiet side street. Shops (bakery, Albert Hejn, café) are just around the corner. By tram you’ll arrive in 10 minutes the van Gogh Museum, by bus in 10 minutes the Central station and downtown.
The apartment is conveniently divided and well equipped with dishes, spices and cooking utensils. The WiFi worked. Check-in and check-out were easy. Steven replied reliably and kindly, always with a delay of a few days.
But: The apartment had only been roughly cleaned. Cups were dirty in the cupboard and the kitchen was often filthy. The sofa and curtains have stains. The balcony was really dirty (pigeon poop) and the stairwell is very disgusting.
The whole week you could hear the bass of a neighbour's music system many hours a day.
And then there's the problem with the toilet, which sounds funnier in the reviews so far than it is. It's absolutely impossible to sit straight on there when the door is closed because it's so small. So you have to sit on it at an angle. Since the toilet lid is completely loose, this is very uncomfortable.
