This is a great apartment for a couple or a couple with small children. The building itself is old and historic, but has very modern amenities.
THE LOCATION:
The location is great, about 75M - 125M to the Portuguese synagogue and about 75M - 100M to the 9 and 14 tram line. There is also a bike rental place very close by. It is very easy to get anywhere in historic Amsterdam either by walking, biking, or tram. You really would be hard pressed to find a better location without being right in the centrum. There are some good nearby cafe's, bars, and restaurants, including one next door, which is super. The noise from the bar was not an issue.
THE APARTMENT:
It is very spacious and has up to date bathroom, kitchen, etc. There is a small room perfect for a child. If it matters to you, it might be important to know you walk through the master to get to the kids room.
THE HOSTS:
The hosts were great. They were really helpful with a couple of questions when we were trying to figure out if our child was too big for the kid's room or not. They were also great about arranging the check-in even when they were out of town.
