The flat is in a beautiful part of Amsterdam and was perfect for getting around - we never needed to use public transport during our stay. We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts Yelke and Mimi and the flat itself is cute, cosy and clean. The stairs are a great feature (although very steep and narrow - would be difficult for the elderly/larger people) and link directly to the shop and workshop downstairs - not a problem for us but if you stay in during the day you will hear everything that goes on down there! All in all we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back again.
