Don’t be fooled with the fancy way the check in messages you’ll receive via email and text messages. As the check in is at a different location (15min walk from the apartment), was not easily accessible by Taxi/Uber, this proved very difficulty when carrying luggage.
The extend of the stairs was not emphasised enough! It is in excess of 50+ very narrow and steep steps and again with luggage which results in multiple exhausting trips up and down. If you have health issues, definitely not advisable. For any emergency you’ll caused yourself harm to be aid by an ambulance as no way to access to you easily.
Internet is good and consistent in the living room only and the rest of the apartment is intermitting badly.
Location of the apartment is good.
In general the flooring is loud and squeaky with every step which cause discomfort to walk at night.
Within the apartment, the lighting is not good. Kitchen main light never worked, living room has dim low spread out hanging lighting. Bedrooms were not bright enough.
In the living room the 2 arm chairs are dirty with stains. The TV doesn’t work, no channels tuned in and no remote control.
In both bedrooms there are 2 single beds put together. Not comfortable.
On the morning I was due to leave I woke up to no electricity whatsoever, no hot water and even no gas to make a tea so it seems intentional cut off for saving. I had to juggle in the darkness to close my bags and to get ready leaving to the airport.
Further to my dismay, I called the given number and they said they understand my frustration but they only manage those property and the landlord is sleeping at the moment and there used to have some technical issues with this place. What sort of service is that? With limited lighting to get down the dangerous stairs I lost control of my luggage and it was damaged.
I would highly NOT recommending this accommodation and in essence it has ruined my trip and my perception to Amsterdam.
