The location couldn't be better: right on Prinsengracht, on the edge of the Jordaan, and across the canal from the Anne Frank House. Abundant shopping, restaurants, and canals to walk along right out the door. It was surprisingly quiet given the fabulous location.
The private part of the apartment is in the basement, but there are transom windows next to the bed and a skylight over the shower that let in natural light. The entryway is shared, and that's where the breakfast table and a couple of chairs are located. I sat there a few times and saw Gerald in passing, but he always quickly went into his private quarters after saying hello.
The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom has everything you need, and the kitchen has a fridge, freezer, microwave, coffee machine (Nespresso), and sink.
Gerald was very responsive when I wrote to him, and answered any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Amsterdam!
