Good place to stay in, albeit a bit away from the city center. There are a few tram stops nearby which solves that issue a lot. The canal view is great and very peaceful to sit and enjoy. The stairs can be very tricky (although normal by Amsterdam standards) especially with luggage, so be prepared. The apartment had everything promised and we had a good stay. Just small things need to be improved with stuff like windows, freezer door etc showing their age. Otherwise, not a bad place to stay at all.
