We loved the location of this apartment and could walk everywhere. Didn't need the tram as we love walking and all that you get to see along the way. This is a private home, with the owners personal belongings still in the apartment, and we found this as a bit of a negative for us as we do enjoy the benefits of a completely cleared and clean accommodation. Like most Amsterdam buildings the stairs are many and steep, and the size 'cosy.' Loved Amsterdam.
