Had a lovely stay in Joe & Raul’s apartment. Located in a top floor apartment and super close to central station. It has a big window facing the city and is easy access for walking almost anywhere. If you want to adventure a little further you can hit the tram (within the city) or the train (change cities) in just a few minutes. The entrance stairs are very steep and narrow, which is standard everywhere, but be aware if any mobility limitations. The area felt relatively safe for downtown and there is a big police station basically across the street. One downside is that there is a lot of construction nearby, but this is going on all over Amsterdam. Unfortunately we weren’t able to take advantage of the tram line right out front due to this. Super easy walk to the canals and Jordaan. The kitchen has all the necessities - microwave, stove, kettle, nespresso, refrigerator, dishwasher. There is a bakery and a grocery store within 3 minute walk and we were able to fix several meals at home. The living area is spacious with a dining table, a big couch that easily seats 4, and smart tv. The beds were a little firm for me, but that is personal preference. Unfortunately the washing machine was broken by a previous guest and was not able to be fixed in time for us, however the host generously covered the cost of us using a nearby laundromat, which was not a difficult experience. We also had some trouble the first evening with the radiators and Raul was super quick to respond and resolve the issue after hours. Great customer service! Highly recommended!
