Yvonne was out of town, but we were able to coordinate with her son very easily. We even got into the apartment several hours earlier than anticipated, which was very appreciated after an all night flight from Los Angeles. The location was ideal!!! Lively street below, but, as others have mentioned, the bedroom was in the back and easy to avoid noise. The stairs were typical Dutch stairs, but much more difficult to maneuver than mentioned in comments. Something to note for someone who has difficulty climbing stairs - steep and narrow. Overall, loved the apartment and would definitely stay there again!
