The apartment is situated in a lovely area of the city, with excellent access to the centre, Anne Frank house and restaurants etc. The room is fairly spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom recently renovated. What should have been an excellent experience was let down slightly by the finishing touches - we had to contact the host for bath towels and mugs for a drink (which were duly sorted). Unlike other places we have stayed, there was no welcome pack and no pack of information about the local area, with recommendations (there were a few on line). In fact we didn't meet the hosts at all during our stay. Whilst we really enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam, we had specifically asked whether the flat was quiet - it isn't! It is opposite a church whose clock tower tolls every 15 minutes, and be advised that there is a fair amount of noise at night from the neighbours in the flat above.
