Had a wonderful stay at Karen's lovely home in Oud Zuid. We don't think there is a better neighbourhood to stay in Amsterdam. It is walking distance to everything, yet nestled away from the hustle and bustle in a beautiful residential area. The furnishings made us feel right at home and we had access to everything we needed throughout our stay. Karen was an excellent host who was available to answer any questions we had. The apartment was large enough for 4 adults to all have their own space. And yes, the stairs! It's clear from the listing what to expect, but try to pack light because it is challenging to bring large/heavy luggage up into the apartment and then into the upper floor where the bedrooms are. Although it was hot in Amsterdam, the apartment was absolutely comfortable with a nice breeze coming through the windows. Thank you so much Karen, we would love to stay again when we are in Amsterdam next time!
