Absolutely wonderful location if you’re staying in Amsterdam. The quiet, beautiful canals and streets are hard to beat! Easy to get to all the tourist attractions via bus/tram, renting a bike or walking. There is also a hop on hop off stop nearby. The stairs are as advertised, but you’ll have killer glutes and thighs by the end of your vacation. Martijn helped with our luggage when we arrived and communication was great. The place has its quirks, but you can’t beat the charm.
