Like many Amsterdam upper level apartments, there are steep stairs so be in good physical condition. The apartment was clean and neat and the kitchen well equipped. Everything seemed to function properly. Its very interesting to hear the city life but there are no real views except neighbors in front. With all the beautiful Amsterdam canals, shops, museums and street life, you probably won't want to stay home anyway. We basically just used the apartment to sleep, shower and change. Celine is lovely to talk to and easy to reach.
