For us, Ruben’s place was perfect. Our stay was one of our most memorable vacations and Ruben’s apartment was a big part of that. Some commented about the stairs, and they are steep, but they made coming home and going out more memorable, and not in a negative way! The flat was fully functioning and has everything you could need during your stay. Walking the area was one of our favorite parts of the day with excellent food and bars everywhere! Highly recommend Loulou pizzabar if anyone is interested. It. Was.Awesome! We went back 3 times! Anyway, I highly recommend Ruben’s flat for your stay in Amsterdam. It could be a bit much if you are an older senior or have huge luggage but once you are in and drink your morning coffee looking down on the canal, in that magical Amsterdam light, everything else is forgotten.
