Joanna is a lovely hostess, from the completely accurate directions and descriptions about distances to local businesses and the train station to her recommendations for places to eat. The apartment is very comfortable and inviting, and the beds are amazingly comfortable. As noted in the description, the stairs are very steep...just takes a bit of extra caution going up and down. The location is perfect - in the Jordaan area of central Amsterdam... a 7 minute walk to the Amsterdam Centraal train station, which is great for business travelers who need to commute to work. We will definitely be back and will rent this apartment again!
