My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days and it was an amazing place to use as a home base for exploring Amsterdam! We loved the location, it was close to the city center and we were able to easily walk everywhere we wanted to go - but at the same time, it's very quiet on the street where the apartment is. We also appreciated the elevator after a month of lugging our bags up lots of stairs all over Europe! Communication with Gerard was quick and easy, he answered all questions I had and was also flexible with our check in time since the guests before us left early. The apartment was beautifully decorated and we had everything we needed, plus extras like a coffee maker and some bottled water. Overally I would highly suggest a stay at Gerard's place for your trip to Amsterdam.
