The pro's:
Great location within easy walking distance to all that Amsterdam has to offer. Plus Tram and Metro lines all within a few steps.
The apartment has a small, private courtyard area which is enclosed.
The apartment has good amenities to include Wifi, TV with Netflicks subscription, toaster, kettle, hob, microwave, washmachine etc.
Both kitchen & bathroom had extras that you can use, e.g. tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, shampoo, body wash etc.
The apartment really has the potential to be an excellent AIRBNB choice for Amsterdam.
The Con's:
Although the apartment was tidy unfortunately it was not clean. An unhealthy amount of dirt and dust is evident in all areas of the apartment. Out of date dairy products left in the fridge.
To control the heating you have to message Marius and hope you get a timely response. This resulted in a cold night one. Nights two & three were extremely hot with the heating not going off until approximately 4am. Thankfully night four was ok.
All the above concerns have been fed back to Marius privately.
The courtyard was messy and dirty with unclean tables, chairs and dead flowers in vases resulting in us not using the area.
During rainfall water builds up on a canopy in a separate courtyard area and consistently drips onto the large window by the dinning table. Due to the water damage on the window seal this has clearly been happening for sometime. The sound of the drips on the window disturbed our sleep for two nights.
Lastly, a light in a hallway is continuous on which means the apartment is never in darkness. This also affected our sleep.
All in all it's a real shame and if I'm completely honest if this was a hotel I would be asking for a partial refund.
