Our stay at Luci's place was fantastic! The apartment is in the center of everything but down an alley that is pretty quiet. As others have noted, the stairs up to the apartment are steep, but once you get your luggage up them, they really aren't an issue. Steep stairs are part of all of the older buildings in Amsterdam. The apartment is charming. The kitchen is compact but has everything you need - Luci even provided some chilled beer and wine! The little patio off the kitchen is delightful to sit on for morning coffee or an afternoon drink. The bedroom is very spacious and has an extremely comfortable bed. In US terms, the bed is closer to King than a Queen. The living room has a lovely leather couch and TV and a small table and chairs for dining. It is an easy walk to everything you need and about a 30 min. walk to the Van Gough and Rijksmuseum. G--gle maps took us on a circuitous route to the apartment from the train station. I called Luci, and she rescued us when we overshot the turn to the apartment. The apartment, when G--gle cooperates, is really a 5-10 minute walk from the train station. The apartment was extremely clean and has a combined washer/dryer, which was critical for us since we had another week of travel. I can't say enough about what great hosts Luci and Dick were. Within about an hour of our checking into the apartment, my husband tripped on a tram line on the main street, hitting his head. People quickly surrounded us to offer help, and the police got us in a taxi to the hospital. I reached out to Luci, not knowing how to negotiate all of this, and she had me immediately texting and talking with her partner Dick since his English was better. Dick and I texted back and forth while my husband was being examined in the ER, which was so comforting and helpful. Once my husband was released from the hospital, late in the evening, I put Dick on speaker phone with the taxi driver, who got us within 1 minute walk to the apartment. I can't say enough about Dick and Luci and what wonderful AirBnB hosts they are. My husband was fine, and we were able to continue on to a wonderful time in Amsterdam. I would highly recommend staying in their apartment.
