The apartment is located quite convenient to explore the city. It's quite and if you have quite a bit of luggage carrying that up the many stairs is not a whole lot of fun but doable. The parking tip from Joke for outside the city was really good and I felt good to leave my car there. For Amsterdam standards I would say the apartment is quite big - there seem to be quite a lot of one-room apartments. It has all the essentials. Only downside for me were the blinds - eventhough they are a bit thicker and dark red they still let in a lot of light but I guess I'm just too used to sleeping in the dark.
