The photos and descriptions are all accurate. Good points: LOCATION. 1) There's a tram line within about 60 meters 2) There's a great breakfast/coffee shop downstairs 3) Easy walking distance to the museums/Concertgebouw (or you can tram that as well). ACCOMMODATION - 1) the kitchen is sufficient for the minor cooking one does on vacation and short trips. 2) There's a nice balcony where you can sit outside, or hang clothes on a clothes line. 3) Lighting is good by European standards. 4) The toilet is NOT in the same room as the shower and requires walking through the living room from the bedroom. So, if you have the need for frequent visits in the night, it might be awkward. Not a big problem really. 5) The bed is a double. So, if you are 2 average sized people you're fine, if you're big and like lots of bed space, not so fine. 5) The stairs. As said in the description, there are stairs. The apartment is on the 3rd floor (US standard) 2nd floor (European standard) and follows Amsterdam standards of narrow with some winding turns and roughly 2/3 the step depth of American standards. So - we're in our mid 60s and could carry up and down the luggage and we're not athletes. We had to be very careful - particularly my husband with size 12 (US) feet. So, the only caution is if you have an issue with stairs, this is probably not the place for you. All in all, a very nice place with a great location and a very responsive host (answers emails quickly, arrives on time to let you in - Auke is an excellent host).
