First, the not so good features: furniture sparse (some of it old), not of high quality; space utilization not the best; kitchen well laid out, but with only the bare essentials - not really made for serious cooking. Now for the good: host extremely helpful and obliging; location superb; beds comfortable; climate control completely silent and efficient; apartment very quiet; good Wifi and TV; nice balcony off the main bedroom; always plenty of hot water. In short, an apartment I would recommend if you want to explore Amsterdam and be close to everything, especially if you need to stay a long time (we were there 3 weeks). Good rates, too.
