Harm was an excellent host and made us feel welcome immediately. Our flight was changed to where we arrived early in the morning and he was ready for us to check in. We had keys to freely come and go as needed. We had all the necessities of home with a kitchen, bathroom, large comfortable bed, and plenty of room for our luggage. We enjoyed the views from the large windows. He mentions the stairs in his description and it is accurate. They are quite steep, but that is typical of Amsterdam. Harm was quick to help us with our luggage up the stairs. I feel that having the steep stairs made for an authentic Amsterdam visit. We loved it!
