Ellen and her husband greeted us at the door early morning. Even though our check-in time was supposedly later, they made the extra effort to meet us and help us with the luggage too. Explanation and suggestions were clear. House was walking distance to a bustop and there is a free ferry shuttle not too nearby but its available near them too if you are heading towards central. I think generally the staircases in Amseterdam is rather steep so it was the same here. I just had to be extra careful especially with the toddler climbing up and down the steps to the room.
