This is an awesome place to stay in Amsterdam. It's in a fun neighborhood, just a couple of blocks away from the Albert Cuyp street market (which you have to experience). Even though the neighborhood is busy and alive with restaurants and bars and people having fun, the apartment is tucked away on a quiet side street so you can get away from the hubbub. The apartment is located on the 3rd (?4th) floor so that makes it more quiet too. (although there isn't an elevator/lift in case you need that, we didn't). There is a spacious common living area with a kitchen and two bedrooms with doors that open onto a plant-filled balcony. The key is easy to obtain from the drop 'n go at the train station and we felt quite secure with a building key and an apartment key. Communication with Valentina was fast and responsive and she answered all our questions within a few minutes. We highly recommend this great apartment in Amsterdam in a neighborhood that is lively and accessible- you can walk to the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum, too.
