We were a group of 5 guys from the US and Sweden, and we were quite satisfied with this apartment in the De Pijp area of Amsterdam.

This is a great multilevel apartment in a hip, well-located neighborhood of the city away from all the tourists. Transportation to/from the airport was simple, and the #4 tram stops just a block away which is helpful in getting around, including to RAI (about a 25 minute walk or 10 minute tram), where we were attending the IBC Convention. My suggestion is to rent a bicycle at any number of nearby shops and fly around Amsterdam like the locals!

All the beds were comfy (including the air mattress), and the living area and kitchen are great for relaxing or having friends join for dinner. The rooftop deck has a great view and is a good place to relax in the late afternoon or evening. You will definitely notice the steep set of stairs you must navigate coming in and out, but we had no incidents even when we'd had a few glasses of wine!

Daniel, the host, was quite friendly and accommodating. He has a very interesting collection of things in his home, and we truly felt like guests. Daniel also gave us tips on where to get a good meal or a pint, and checked in several times by text message just in case we needed anything. He really loves this place so we considered ourselves lucky to have gotten to stay there.

All of us would certainly stay here again when we return!
