The apartment really surprised us. We walked in and it was HUGE - it was cleaned spotless, lots of natural light in every room and everything was pretty new. You can tell it was renovated not long ago. Really big stocked chef's kitchen. Bathrooms were really nice, we liked the floor heating on the tiles.
The location was just as we wanted, since we preferred being away from the noisy touristy areas of Amsterdam but it was actually very easy to get in there being right close to the main canal belt. It was right next to the Westerpark which was great even for a brisk cold walk through the winter trees. There were also some cool bars and restaurants in that area and close by that we tried.
We rented some bikes from a place nearby and it was quick and easy to get into the centre. The Jordaan area was also right next to us which was worth exploring. It was actually a little too cold and windy for us to want to cycle too much so we ended up using the bus and trams more with the stops quite close. It was just a few stops to get to Vondelpark and the museum district.
One thing was that the entrance to the building is a little unkept but this is not really the owners fault. Then again there is something 80's New York era cool about walking up a slightly grubby old dated stairwell (only missing any graffiti lol) and then in stark contrast opening up into a big beautiful open loft space!
It was a great find and overall fantastic price for our stay considering other spaces and the space and quality of this spot.
