Arthur's apartment is a real find - beautifully and eclectically furnished, with more than enough for your stay (washing machine, clothes drying rack, heated towel rail, plenty of coat hangers, gas stove, comfy sofa and armchairs galore, etc. There's even a record player!) Super comfy and the perfect getaway. The area is quiet and residential, and though it requires a solid walk into the city centre for tourist attractions, the walk itself is really quite pleasant so we didn't mind. Though we didn't use much public transport, Amsterdam is well equipped so you should be fine.
Arthur is a fantastic and generous host - clear and friendly communication before we even arrived in Amsterdam! Check-in was easy and Arthur was very helpful with settling us in, helping us with our suitcases up the short flight of stairs, then offering directions for nearby amenities and how to get to some of the main attractions. He was contactable via phone for any queries, though we found our visit smooth and faultless so no need. Absolutely no complaints. Highly recommend.
