This was my first solo trip to Europe. I arrived at the studio around 10am after flying in from Barcelona. I was able to check in early and checking in was a breeze. I always felt safe in the neighborhood which was important being a solo female traveler. This is a great spot if you need to avoid stairs since it is on the first level. There is some street noise outside but it didn’t bother me much. The location is amazing! Just outside all the tourist hotspots but close enough where booking this studio makes sense. 8 min walk tot he red light district and less than 20 min walk to Amsterdam Centraal, Anne Frank house, and the Heineken experience. The heated floors in the bathroom made all the difference when getting up since I visited in the fall and it was in the 40s (Fahrenheit). The big red tub was amazing to relax tired muscles at the end of a long day exploring the city. Don’t worry there is a shower as well. There is a washer and dryer there which was perfect for me since I packed lightly. I would 100% stay here again because it really became a home away from home.
