The apartment delivered exactly what it promised. Ruud was there to check in with us when he said he would, the place was private and clean, and the kitchen and bathroom were well-equipped with everything we needed. We've stayed in other places in Amsterdam, so we knew to expect the narrow, steep staircase to the top floor. And we also expected the shower/toilet combination bathroom. But the staircase was carpeted and wider than other places I have stayed, and the bathroom was very modern and clean. So it all exceeded our expectations. If it wasn't raining during our visit, the balcony looked like a great place to relax with a glass of wine or cup of coffee.
