The apartment was exactly as described. It is located on the edge of a busy area and was loud at night (bring earplugs), but Marja had mentioned that in the listing and in our communication, so it was not unexpected. The location is great for getting around Amsterdam by foot or by tram - there are several nearby tram stops that go to the major sights. Marja greeted us personally and explained the details of the apartment, and there were many snacks and drinks to enjoy as we settled in.
