We loved our stay here! The loft is clean and surprisingly large for a studio. There's a lovely canal view from the living room area, and the whole place feels both modern and cozy. Yes, the bathroom is not its own room. This wasn't an issue for us - there are many places to sit such that you're not looking at the bathroom. The stairs are pretty narrow but seemed to be normal for Amsterdam, since many places we visited had similar stairs. We also loved being able to walk everywhere. There's an Albert Heijn one block away, many excellent restaurants nearby, and the main train station about 25-30 minutes away. Carel was a great host and neighbor, and we enjoyed chatting with him when we ran into each other coming and going.
