Nicolet was open to me dropping off my luggage earlier @1230 than my agreed upon check in time of 1400. I was greatly appreciative of that but to my surprise when I got there the unit was ready. It was clean and look exactly as pictured. It's large enough for a family of 4 plus has a crib and toys for tots. It's got a good size closet if you wish to hang clothes. The bed and bedding was comfortable and the heating (floor heat) was sufficient. Using the hot water shower was tricky on my first use but managed to figure it out. Turn the blue knob first then once the shower starts running, you turn the red dial for hot water. The table in the center of the unit is beautifully set up with 6 chairs, a bin with guides and books about Amsterdam and assorted mini-chocolate eggs. The kitchen's got it all but didn't need to cook as there are plenty restaurants around. The wifi signal and connection was great. The location of this unit couldn't be any more central. It's situated in the thick of the Nieumarkt area with lots of restaurants, cafes, gift stores and walking distance to some coffee shops (for those who care to indulge). I stayed here solo for 3 nights and never once felt unsafe even while walking back late night. If you love authentic Thai food be sure to try Birds, a couple blocks away.

The only thing missing from my stay was the first set of Dutch beers Nicolet stated in the description of the unit. Also there was no bottled water in the fridge to welcome me with. May be I could've requested it but I didn't. My local friends state they drink tap water. I ended up doing that and had no issues. The tap water was just fine. The door lock was sometimes a pain but in no way a compromise to my safety. It's a solid door and lock. Try the other key as one worked better than the other in my opinion.

I highly recommend this place to solo, coupled, and small group of travelers. Lovely stay. Not much interaction with host but that's how I like it.
