Zhifei was really great at communicating and the check in was very smooth. The location is perfect if you want to be away from the crazier side of Amsterdam and it’s a beautiful neighbourhood. Fully recommend eating at bar Pif which is just a couple of streets away.
It should be noted that the place, whilst really clean and cosy, was very noisy. Not something that can be helped as it’s got very thin walls and ceilings but you can hear the several tenants in the flat upstairs coming and going through the shared door and walking above you in their flat very clearly. That mixed with the sounds of dripping water and running water make it quite difficult to sleep. Again this is not something that can be helped as it’s an older building and if you’re not a light sleeper you’ll probably be fine. Also at 5’9 I’m pretty close to the ceiling in the bedroom and kitchen. Something to keep in mind if you’re a taller person.
Overall if you’re just using the place as a base it’s a great location to pick
