I can't say enough good things about Jill and Julian's apartment - it is fantastic and my friends and I had an amazing few days there!

Jill and Julian responded promptly to my request and the host agency they used (they were our of the country during my stay) was really helpful in the lead up to the trip offering directions and transit timings. And we were able to store our luggage in the building when we checked out which was really useful.

The apartment really does look like the photos - rooms are bright and airy, more than enough room for 4 adults and the rooftop is definitely the highlight - we spent 2 of our 3 evenings up there as the weather was so nice.

The apartment was well located, has a supermarket nearby and good transport options. It is also only a few minutes walk to the Jordaan area.

The apartment is on the top floor of a 5 storey building with no lift, and the actual apartment has a spiral staircase, so whilst it has great views from the roof, it's probably not ideal for those less mobile.

On the down side, there was a mix up with not having enough sheets for the number of beds/guests but Ingrid from the host agency did her best to provide a solution and it worked out fine. I'm sure this has been rectified now and there will be more than enough sheets if you choose to stay here!

In short, I would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone heading to Amsterdam!

Tip - The directions initially offered from Central Station to the apartment can be confusing when you actually get there, so I would recommend pulling up Google maps when you arrive (there is free wifi at the canal area outside Central Station) and inputting the address. That way you can follow the route whilst you're on the bus and jump off where it tells you and walk for a couple of minutes.
