Pros:
>Location: in the middle of a key street, walking distance from all the tourist spots but a bit removed so you have a break from the crowds and commercial stuff.
>Convenience: a quick 12-15min walk from Centraal Station (airport transfer) also the tram is a short 5min walk away.
>Room size: large room and large bed for two people, enough table space to work on and store your things.
> a kitchenette with a fridge if you plan to use it
Cons:
> we encountered lots of insects in the apartment. Multiple spiders and mosquitoes every night. (Which we needed to keep open as there is no AC so that’s the only ventilation you’ve got). Not to mention a couple of silverfish were scuttling across the chopping board one night. We also had small bugs on the bed, seemed harmless, hopefully not bedbugs.
> Cobwebs and dust everywhere: The ceilings and walls near the bed were full of cobwebs. As someone with a dust allergy, this was not ideal.
> Fan: one fan works the other doesn’t, Bob didn’t respond to requests to fix it.
> The toilet had a funky smell from the moment we got there to the day we left.
> Amenities: buy your own handsoap or use the dishwashing soap provided. Sadly Bob didn’t respond to our request for soap. Seems like a basic amenity? A towel had someone else's hair on it...
> Entrance: compared to other street entrances around, this was pretty dirty/ not maintained. Dirty mops at the door don’t make a good first impression.
> noise from the street: we didn’t have any issues here but I’d imagine the noise from the street right outside could be bothersome to light sleepers.
Most of the cons are easily solvable if the owners put a little more effort, I hope they do :)
