This apartment was perfect for my stay in Amsterdam -- I especially liked the immediate access to the 10 Tram and 21 Bus just a few steps from the front door.

Mirjam was a fantastic host; she was communicative and available if I needed anything--whether it be tips on what to do or if I needed help calling a taxi. The apartment is perfectly set up with Amsterdam guidebooks, tram booklet, and museum pamphlets, which was a really nice touch. There are also books and DVDs that make it feel like home.

The WiFi worked really well, which was also great for being able to get work done.

The neighborhood is safe and primarily residential; though there are definitely grocery stores and small eateries/bakeries within a 5 minute walk. As a single female traveler, I never felt unsafe being outside in the middle of the night.

In my opinion this apartment is best just for 1 person- (or 1 adult + 1 child). If my boyfriend had been with me, we would not have been able to comfortably share the futon bed due to its size (though it's possible the second couch in the room can be made into a bed).

And, random advice, I wish I would have brought rubber sandals to wear in the apartment. The bathroom is a combination where the shower water makes the entire floor of the bathroom wet (by design), so sandals would be nice so my feet stay dry if I needed the bathroom again.

This is a great, clean apartment, and I would definitely stay here again if I'm traveling in Amsterdam alone.
