Unfortunately, Efith was on holidays when we arrived. However, she had communicated with us about this well in advance. Ava met us and even assisted with getting our suitcases up to the top floor. When Edith returned, she greeted us on our last morning and welcomed us into her apartment ( she lives on the first floor) for coffee. She immediately made us feel welcomed and I was sad that the visit was so short.
The only thing that I have to say is challenging about the place is the four steep staircases leading up to the top level. I had forgotten just how steep Amsterdam staircases are...that being said, the apartment is situated in an ideal location and I would recommend it to anyone. Just try to travel light!
