The room is exactly as described, perfect location to spend a couple of days in Amsterdam. It is located right under the roof of the house,with steep and narrow stairs leading to the apartment. That was fun and exciting and no problem for us as a young couple. The big windows and nice wooden furniture and wooden beams make the room so comfortable, lots of light comes in during the day.
The house is located in a lovely neighbourhood, with canals and lots of cute little houses,cafes, restaurants in the vicinity. It is a very quiet neighbourhood, however it only takes about 15 minutes to walk to the center - so very convenient!
We arrived by car and as it is not easy and very extensive to park on the street, we left the car at P+R parking next to Sloterdijk station. That was extremely cool and cheap, as you only pay the return ticket for the public transport and in combination with the parking ticket, it only costs 1 €/day for the parking duration of max. 96 hours. However, make sure to read the instructions on the parking ticket machine on how to get the cheap parking fee, cause at first sight it seems kind of complicated:-) Sloterdijk station is served by trains, metro, buses and trams (Tram 19 takes you back to the center within about 10-15 minutes).
The apartment itself is renovated and has everything you need, a little bathroom with hair drier, towels, a small fridge, some basic kitchen appliances for making tea and coffee, basic tableware, a table with 2 chairs, an arm chair, a heating thermostat for regulating the heating, TV, chests of drawers, extra blankets, hooks to hang clothes and the doors, coat hangers in a small wardrobe etc.
Marielle is the perfect host, she was there to answer any questions before we even booked the room and answered very fast. She provided us with many valuable tips, also concerning the parking situation and recommended the P+R parking lot. The self check-in went very smoothly, thanks to Marielles detailed information we received before arriving. She also has a little info folder on the dining table where you will find many tips for getting around in Amsterdam including supermarket recommendations or breakfast cafes etc.
In summary, we would definitely come back to the accommodation and we really recommend it to anybody who doesn't mind climbing the steep stairs. Thank you Marielle for making our trip to Amsterdam so comfortable and wonderful!
