The apartment is in a good location only about a 15 minute walk to an area with plenty of restaurants, bars, and other. The only problem was that the internet did not work and the host was unable to resolve since he was out of the country thus no internet for 4 nights. Also...just beware that the steps going up are extremely steep thus if one has a problem with steps then it would be a big problem especially with luggage. But hey...that's downtown Amsterdam.
