We really enjoyed our stay in Gijs’s house. He’s a great host and his home is well-located — a short (10 minute) walk from Centraal Station, and within walking distance of many of Amsterdam’s top tourist destinations.
The home is interesting in itself, full of artistic touches. Gijs was helpful in pointing out some good nearby eating places and attractions.
As stated in the description, be prepared to walk up a few flights of stairs to your bedrooms, ending in a very steep final flight of about 10 steps. This is no problem for anyone in reasonably good shape, and our 8-year-old daughter had no problem navigating the final steps. The larger bedroom has a small sink with drinkable water.
You will have to walk down to the main floor to reach the toilets and shower. There is a small room with a toilet and sink, and an adjoining room with toilet, sink, and shower.
Recommended as a fun, funky place to stay in Amsterdam!
