As with other reviews, we found Lora's place to be a perfect spot from which to explore Amsterdam. We loved the open floor plan! If you're into cooking, the kitchen is furnished with all the utensils and dishes you'll need to create an amazing meal from your purchases at the nearby Albert Cuyp open market. Yes, the stairs are definitely numerous and steep. We knew this going into our trip, so we packed lightly. It helps to strategically plan your days out as to how many times you want to climb up and down the stairs. Overall, we loved the area and its restaurants and cafes.
