Location wise, the apartment was perfect. Within walking distance to absolutely everything we wanted to see. The living area looks over one of the canals and was lovely a quiet when we stayed in September. A sweet apartment in a great location, however the bathroom, kitchen and dining room are located at the other end of a communal hallway. This is mentioned in the listing, but you can’t lock these rooms so I personally did not want to leave any belongings in there.
There are two doors into the private room, one for the bedroom, which Joop recommends leaving locked, and one for the lounge, which is swollen at the top of the door and really hard to open, meaning it was a bit of a struggle to get in and out. It’s also a bit of a worry if you needed to leave the building quickly, in a fire for example, as you would spend a while trying to open the door. The smoke alarm above the door is also hanging off.
Joops apartment was comfortable, however only two very thin single duvets were provided for a couple sleeping in a double bed, which meant it was very chilly in the evening. There were only two thin pillows and pillow cases too. I noticed there were more pillows in the cupboard, but no cases for these.
There were some basics like plates and cutlery and a coffee machine with pods which was a nice tough.
The shower room was very small but the shower was great. Really good pressure and temperature too.
Joop was a good host and was very responsive and quick to get back to us. I would recommended staying here, despite the above suggestions/criticisms.
