Marc and Brenda were very responsive hosts and quickly followed up to my inquiries prior to selecting their place as well as before arriving and when leaving; all of which made my travel plans that much easier. The Penthouse was neat and clean, nothing fancy, and the proximity to getting around Amsterdam from their penthouse was an easy one. It was wonderful to overlook a canal. It worked out well for the three of us staying there; we each had our own room and two full bathrooms to share on the same floor. The price was right for us. It is a great neighborhood; quiet and walking distance of Jordaan; so quaint and with many restaurants. There are also great restaurants around the corner from the penthouse. The manual summary of the penthouse and neighborhood was very helpful and appreciative. Their description of the Penthouse was accurate; however please make note of the VERY STEEP STEPS. There are 4 flights to climb, starting from outside the building to get to the main living room/kitchen. And then an additional flight up to the bedrooms. After the first day we got used to climbing up and walking down them, very carefully and slowly, but if you are not familiar with Amsterdam’s steep steps, they are that! However, a great stay and Marc and Brenda were very accommodating.
