This location could not be beat. Beautiful neighborhood close to shops and dining, including tourist sights like Westerkerk church, Anne Frank house and walking to Dam Square. The apartment is essentially an attic space. Very clean and nicely appointed. The downsides are that it is an open staircase with the host so when he or his visitors would leave the apartment we heard it all. I would feel unsafe if I was a solo traveler and would not recommend due to lack of security. The other challenges are the apartment has nice bedroom spaces but no indoor common space which was tight for us as a family of 4 (there was a lovely outdoor space for dining and relaxing it was just too chilly when we were there in Spring) and the bathroom is a euro shower with no enclosure so no one can use the bathroom when the shower is in use. If you’re ok and have an open mind, it’s a nice place to stay in a terrific location with an attentive host.
