Job's sister Judith met me at the door and showed me all the little details of the apartment including the various lighting systems and coffee machine, and also offered to provide suggestions for restaurants etc. The bed was really cosy and comfortable and the place itself is quiet as it's on a quiet street. You can hear people upstairs walking around and coming in and out but it was just standard 'sounds' - not partying or anything. The shower was luxurious and I love that there are even separate usb power sockets - genius! - to charge your phone etc. I usually stay in Oude Pijp when I'm in Amsterdam but decided to try Jordaan this time. Some great Italian restaurants and independent shops in the area. And trams 13 and 17 are really close by.
