A lovely apartment in a great part of town, with lots of coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and other services (like laundry) close at hand. Two tram lines are located a few steps away, with a metro station a few blocks further. You’ll have quick and easy access to any part of the city. It’s quiet, clean, well appointed and well maintained. I enjoyed my stay immensely and would gladly return in the future.
I will say, there are a lot of stairs, and these are Dutch stairs, which means they’re built into a compact space. But they’re well lighted with hand rails on both sides. I’m nearly 60 with a bad knee and a wounded shoulder and had no problem, other than carrying up and down my too-big suitcase. The host was a dream, helping me find someone to do that for me, for which I am exceedingly grateful. Most people could manage it far more easily than I, and as I said, I would gladly return.
Do yourself a favor and stay here. Then, do yourself another favor and wander the neighborhood. There’s more to Amsterdam than downtown. There’s a lot of charm here. You don’t want to miss it.
