This space is on the top floor of a typical Dutch home and required climbing up 64 very narrow and twisty steps to the top. Navigating luggage up can be a job. You also have to pass thru a second locked door halfway up. There are several apartments or perhaps other bnb areas in the building so it is multi-tenant. Initially, I was put off because the first two flights are shabby and the light is dim. But once you get to Kate’s area, the staircase is much brighter and appears cared for. Kate lives on the premises and greeted us and helped us settled in. She is delightful. She has a management company run the bnb and we found them very responsive to all our questions. You also have to go to their place to pick up the key.
The space is at the very top of the house and wonderfully lit by 3 large skylight/windows which makes it bright and cherry. It is also quite large and has a modern bath area with nice tile and a kitchen area.
Initially I was concerned about being so high in the building with the only access being the narrow twisty stair because I’m always concerned about exit plans in case of fire. However, there was a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector in the space (which I assumed were working) which alleviated some fears.
The location is central and everything is a short walk away. We really liked this space.
