The apartment is at the heart of Amsterdam. If you are looking for a place where you can explore Amsterdam walking and still feeling like you are staying at a locals house this is it. My parents stayed there, while visiting me in the city, and absolutely loved it. They are around 62, and had no trouble going up the little 2 stair with their suitcase. You have amazing local shops right under the apartment, like an amazing cheese store, and restaurants, and everything you need I would say.
