I absolutely loved staying in this apartment! I was nervous because I was traveling alone for the first time but I felt right at home as soon as I arrived.
There are two guest rooms upstairs. I stayed in the single room and next door is the large double room. We also had a very clean bathroom upstairs and a great shared balcony. The guest area is separated from the hosts' living area by a door and a flight of stairs so you have the option of privacy or you can go downstairs and hang out with the very welcoming hosts. I preferred to do my own thing most days because I had a lot I wanted to see and do and eat so it was very convenient to be able to slip in and out without bothering anyone. On my last night, however, I was invited downstairs for a party where Keeva served some veryyy delicious homemade dumplings.
I also was surprised to find out they offer free breakfast and coffee! I'm pretty sure it's in the ad but I must have skipped over that. I already had so many cafes and restaurants on my list to try so I never had a chance to eat at the apartment but it's great to have if you're trying not to splurge.
The location is great - out of the touristy city center but still right off a canal and a very lovely walk into the city. There is a tram close by but I preferred walking into the city center everyday. When I arrived, Keeva's husband, Charlie, showed me how to get to the grocery store and to Vondelpark. He suggested I walk through the park on my way to the city and it was a great idea. I also took the more direct route into the city most days on Kinkerstraat which takes you by the Foodhallen and Ten Kate Market outside of De Hallen and a bunch of other great food options.
Being alone (and a woman) I am happy to say that the area felt extremely safe. I felt totally fine walking around the neighborhood very early in the morning and very late at night. I would definitely stay here again!
