This apartment is exactly as described. It was just about perfect for a family of four: Mom, Dad, and Sisters ages 7 and 9. Private bedroom with a large bed for Mom and Dad, then separate bedrooms for each of the Sisters, so they could sleep/read/play undisturbed. Having a washing machine and clothes drier in the apartment allowed us to pack light and was definitely a major plus. We stayed for 8 nights and enjoyed each one of them. The neighborhood is great, quiet, residential. We easily walked to the Vondelpark. There are also shops my wife says are cute, cafes, restaurants, bars, multiple grocery options, all very nice and welcoming. It is far enough from the crazy tourist areas of the Centrum, but there are multiple tram options nearby and between a 10-20 minute tram ride to the tourist areas, or just rent a bike if its not rainy. There are 2 flights of typically steep Dutch stairs from the street to the apartment, and another flight from the apartment's "mud room" for coats and boots up to the living room and kitchen area. There are also stairs up to the bedrooms and shower/bathtub room. But in exchange for climbing stairs, you get a nice sunny space above the street, rather than having a basement or underground space. Besides, Floris was very kind and helped us carry our luggage, so truly the stairs are not anything to worry about. Also, you get the rooftop area, which is beautiful. We enjoyed the balcony off the kitchen, and our girls loved the French Balcony off the living room. The kitchen is well-equipped and fun to use. Floris hooked us up with some local delicacies like Stroopwaffels, and some coffee for the Nespresso machine, and there are spices, oils, etc. We shopped at the AH about a block away, the EKOPlaza about 3 blocks away, and the Ten Kate Market about 6 blocks away - all within easy walking distance. Remember to bring your shopping bag! The living room couch and fast wifi was ideal for staying current with work emails, and we could also stream video: I brought my own cables and used the HDMI input of the apartment's flatscreen. Both the check-in and check-out process were quick and easy, in part bc I was familiar with the area already. Floris offered to tell me more and made himself both available and responsive if I had questions. That type of excellent communication was present during the entire process - from my initial inquiry thru checking out. For example, we could not find the switch for a certain light, and our question was answered in under 5 minutes.
Would definitely rent this apartment again.
