Matthijs is a great host. He is super responsive and sends over check-in instructions ahead of time. He greeted us when we checked-in and gave us a tour of the apartment, and made sure we have everything we need. Location is great. 2 min - 4 min walk to tram stations (1, 2, 5) and grocery store (Albert Hejin). Bocca coffee shop across the apartment is GEM. Love it. Great location if you don't plan to get iamsterdamcard because you have great cafes, restaurants, and touristy spots in walking distance. Walking distance to touristy spots (Museumplein & Vondelpark) and galleries, and short tram ride away from other touristy spots. Recommend Blue Boat Canal Cruise if you have iamsterdamcard.
Apartment is clean. There are about 3 steps up to the ground floor (apartment is on ground floor). Bathroom is clean. The apartment is wheelchair friendly except for the doorway entry (since there are steps). BUT do-able if travel partners can lift the wheelchair or if the person can walk a few steps up. Apartment is flat inside. Matthijs was very clear on these details when I asked him before I booked his place. Thank you!
The apartment is smaller than it looks from the pictures but that's because the pictures are taken with wide-angles. They're not inaccurate per se because it does show you what the apartment looks like. Space is kinda small for 4 adults. Good comfortable size for 2 people.
Soundproof system is not good. We could hear everything when people were chatting on the doorsteps. Some conversations were interesting. You can hear all the walking up and down the stairs.
