This is a great choice depending on what you are looking for. I suppose that’s true of every place, so I’ll list the plusses and minuses:
Plusses:
Located on a cute little street that is a 15 minute walk from the train station. The walk would have been easier if I hadn’t packed so much! It’s close to lots of shopping and restaurants, and it’s about 20 minutes from Anne Frank House. We never took public transportation besides the train three of five days to smaller outlying cities and a canal cruise that met us at Anne Frank House.
The decor is “quirky/fun,” and you’ll really feel like a local.
Willem responded quickly to messages before our arrival.
The shower was very good and the bed was comfortable— those are the two most important, right?
Minuses:
It’s located next to a bar which was frankly, kinda noisy. It’s also one unit of several in the building, and there is some noise, though not obnoxious at all, from the other units. If you’re a light sleeper or are looking for a hotel substitute, then this isn’t for you.
There is no closet or chest of drawers to place clothes. We were there a week, and that was kind of annoying. There also is no washer, but Willem recommended a good laundry place down the street.
The kitchen set up is just ok. We didn’t use much because we preferred to go out.
We stayed about a week, and we were glad we did. In the end, though, I think this is set up more for a shorter stay. However, if you travel light, join in on the bar science next door, and stay up late, you’ll love this place,
