The apartment was in a great location on the second ring of Canals near Amsterdam Centre. The rooms were very large and the place was very clean. It has a phenomenal view of the Canal from the Living Room! Lars and his partner left an information sheet that was very helpful about the city.
The unit is listed as a 2 BR but it really isn't. It's a very large one BR with a loft area in the living room as the second sleeping area. I would definitely not recommend this sleeping arrangement for very young or very old travelers since it is easily 10+ feet off the LR floor and is accessed by a latter. If you ever have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bath, you will understand. Because of this, one of us was very happy with the sleeping arrangements (large room, great bed) and one of us got the difficult to access loft. The bed up there was quite comfortable though!
An additional bonus was an outside patio accessed though the main BR.
As a 1BR, I would rate it as a 5 star. But as a 2 bedroom I had to rate it lower.
