From the beginning our stay at Joop's well located apartment was a delight. His arrangements for our earlier than check-in arrival was welcoming, friendly and easy. Although we had to carry our bags up one of those Amsterdam winding stairways if was simple and worth the climb. The location put us in a great neighborhood with all that we needed just a short walk away. Although the front rooms, a sitting room with restful view to the Keizersgracht and a comfortable and restful bedroom, were separated by the stairwell from the kitchen and bathrooms, we found the arrangement almost a non-issue. The house is well restored and maintained. Everything we needed was available or just a quick text to Joop away. We loved this place and Joop was a great host.
