The location was very convenient to public transportation, walking distance to restaurants, farmers market, and museums. We love the homey feel of the unit. We were disappointed when the dryer did not work, as we booked this unit mainly for that amenity. Willian was quick to respond, but he was not able to get someone to repair it right away. We had to hang our wet clothes on rack and over radiator. Secondly, the steep staircase up to the unit was something we were not accustomed to. I think it is very common for older buildings in Amsterdam. It could improve on the lighting. My shoe size is 36 eu and I'm not able to place my full foot on each stair. You will have to walk sideways on staircase. Overall, the unit gave us an authentic feel of old Amsterdam building.
