The absolute best thing about our stay at Gerald's apartment was the location. So convenient! We stayed 7 days in February--the coldest part of the year--and enjoyed a comfortable stay during that time. We weren't in the apartment much (gone from breakfast to after dinner each day) but when we were there, we were warm, we had everything we needed, we were comfortable, we felt safe, and we slept well (the most important thing). The apartment living space is actually tri-level but each level is separated by only a few stairs. It's an innovative design and a great use of space! The large bed was comfortable. I slept on the firmer side, the side without the head that raises, and my husband slept on the softer side with the head that raises. Both of us were happy with the bed. The place was very clean and the amenities are of excellent quality. The WiFi works well (reliable and fairly fast). The W/D is upstairs in Gerald's apartment but he was able to help us out with our laundry during our stay (such a generous offer...he's nice like that). The kitchenette was perfect for our needs and everything in it works well. We bought groceries up the street at the Jumbo market, a well stocked grocery store about 10 minutes away on foot. They offer a great selection of most anything one would need. We ended up using the tram from the Westermarkt station almost daily to get where we needed to go. It's only a 5 minute walk away (basically right next to Westerkerk). On a quieter day, we were able to find eateries and interesting little stores as well as outdoor markets right in our own neighborhood. I took full advantage of having a window looking out onto the canal. Every morning I woke up to a delicious cup of coffee and a view out the window from the rocking chair in the sitting area. It was fun watching the city wake up from there. Other bonuses: heated bathroom floor, heated towel rack, plenty of hot water and good water pressure, a sky light over the shower (non see-through) that can be opened for good air circulation at night (or for additional ventilation during showers), and a coffee pod coffee maker (Krups) similar to the Nespresso machines. Gerald was a super responsive, welcoming, and warm and friendly host. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this place for a single's stay or for a couple's stay while visiting Amsterdam.
