We understand that we do not always get what we want, but we could not continue to stay in this particular apartment. I put aside the issue of noise and steep climbing. That's how it is in the center of Amsterdam. I think it should be provided in the Information. a picture, or a clarification that is being renovated next door, But I put that aside.
The apartment is in a super central location for those who want to be close to museums. It is made of top-end materials, very high quality. If you close the windows, you hear nothing from outside. The property owner answered us immediately and allowed early entry without charge.
The problem with the apartment is that its design is awful, almost inhuman as if it is meant for two robots. It is made of the finest materials, but it makes no sense. The living room is made of an upholstered hard bench and two chairs. There is no sofa or armchair, completely spartan. when you are exhausted after a day on foot, have to climb to the apartment, and there is nowhere to sit comfortably. Not even half comfortable. The only place you can relax is on one of the two single beds, very comfortable, but with no light. The apartment is dark on a level where you can not read a book. near The bed, there is a beautiful but weak table lamp, and the second one on the other side is also very beautiful, but there is no place to connect it. No socket, It is strange.
Yes, you can sit in the living room on a chair, but it's a chair. I want to relax a little. if you can not rest in the living room, so let's watch TV. But she's 40 inches? It is attached to the wall, about 7-8 meters away from the bed. It can only be viewed sitting upright on a chair in front of it.
The kitchen is adjacent to the bedroom. And adjacent to it on one side the toilet and on the other the bathroom. To make a sandwich or go to the bathroom, one has to walk from the living room to the bedroom And wake up those who sleep there. The toilet is on the right side of the kitchen when coming out of the double door toilet, which inhibits the smell get to the kitchen. you need to cross the kitchen to the bathroom. Most people I know will have a hard time washing their hands in the tiny sink in the toilet, which means going through the kitchen before washing their hands, touching the handles. It's not pleasant. There is steam when taking a shower. When you finish and open the door, the hot steam is in the kitchen.
Individually all of these problems can be tolerated, together they become too much. We canceled the reservation after one night, paid the fine, and left.
