This is clean, serviceable apartment.
While initially we felt it was too far from the activities we came to Amsterdam for, we ended up preferring to be a bit off the beaten path. It was nice to be in a real neighborhood that isn’t overrun with commercial, tourist activities. There are also a few good restaurants and cafés nearby and it it’s very near Amstel Station and many tram routes.
The apartment is on a busy street so it could be noisy during the day, but we weren’t there that much during the day, so it wasn’t an issue. If you are looking for real quiet at any hour, this may not be your best bet.
The only minor problem was that the hot water heater didn’t function properly, so the water would turn cold during a shower. Our host Arnold was very responsive, however, and came over the next day to deal with it. He even offered to come at 10:00pm, but it wasn’t necessary. This ended up being a small annoyance rather than a major deal for us, as one of us could reset the hot water while the other one was in the shower.
All in all, the place was nice with big windows letting in lots of natural light and air. A very good value if you don’t mind a little time on the trams, which are also a good way to look at the city.
