My wife and I were very happy with our stay in Kirsten's apartment. It was very clean, with a comfortable bed and exactly as advertised. Loved the character of the bathroom, ceiling beams and overall feel. Yes, there are stairs, but that is characteristic of Amsterdam. It took a bit of care ascending with luggage but no problem after that - we were were actually happy for the exercise (and we are not what you'd call 'young'). The location is excellent and a great base from which to see the Amsterdam's inner city- close to museums and the beautiful Vondelpark, and easy walking distance everywhere else. Kirsten is a great host - communication was excellent and the written tip sheet was very helpful. We felt that we could count on Kirsten if we had needed anything special. We'd stay there again.
