First off the building is beautiful and the apartment as shown in the pictures. You can expect a spotless clean place with nice touches like fresh flowers, candy dishes, and a handwritten note on the door welcoming you. Plenty of space to have 2 big suitcases open on the floor at all times. The bed was super comfy and the pillows soft. Dionne and Bonnie were VERY communicative and flexible with our check in.
The location is perfect. A 5 minute walk to the nearest tram stop Spui. Red Light District is a 10 minute beautiful walk.
A few things you should know to make sure it is the right fit for you. When you enter, there is one flight of steep stairs (like all stairs in Amsterdam) as the unit is on the first floor (equivalent to second floor in US). We are reasonably fit 50 year olds and made it up with 50 pound suitcases. They were kind enough to help with the luggage anyway and smiled as they carried it. The stairs were not an issue for us and after 2 days we were flying up and down. If you are physically impaired you may want to look elsewhere. The bathroom is a little tight with a very small sink so not as easy to get ready.
The unit has 3 giant windows that run across the entire room and provide incredible views of the neighborhood which all open for fresh air and views of the street below. There are also blackout curtains that are needed for a good sleep and do a fantastic job blocking the sun completely. It is a hip active street so plan on some noise at night. We appreciated it and felt like we were in the mix.
My wife and I had a wonderful time in this romantic quaint apartment. Enjoy and thanks again for providing such a wonderful place for us to stay in Amsterdam.
