This is a small studio apartment, perfect for a couple exploring Amsterdam. There are three large windows overlooking a canal. It was nice to open the windows in the evening with a glass of wine while watching boats pass on the canal. If you have mobility issues, be aware the apartment is up two flights of very steep stairs. So 2nd floor Europe, third floor U.S.
The kitchen is attractive with a combination microwave and oven that we used to toast bread and heat up breakfast. There is also a large refrigerator and a dish washer. The bathroom is updated with a spacious shower and a nice shelf above the toilet for storing items.
There is no air conditioning or fans. That wasn't a problem as the weather was mild and it's not unusual in Europe, but it's worth noting. We had a window open at night for air circulation and you could hear city noises, but nothing too disruptive for sleep. But keep in mind this is in a pretty quiet neighborhood. I'm sure other locations in the city would be very loud if you opened a window. And since the apartment doesn't face a busy road, this is probably about as peaceful a location as you can find.
The location worked great for us. There is a tram stop right outside the apartment door where you can easily go to the museum district or zoo. Another two blocks away is a stop what will bring you into the city center and Central Station. We used both and walked a lot as well. It is a very short walk to the east where there are a lot of dining options. Nothing we wanted to do was more than a 25 minute walk. Less by tram.
Martijn was great about communicating and quick to make new check-in arrangements after we had a last minute change of our arrival time. He also gave us restaurant recommendations when we asked for them in the middle of our trip.
We would definitely stay here again.
