The location of the apartment is great. It's situated right on a canal in the awesome Jordaan neighborhood and it's very easy to walk anywhere in Amsterdam or take the tram or bike. It was a great location for my first time in Amsterdam. Robert was very responsive and helpful. He provided us with maps and directions and it was very easy to get in contact via whatsapp. He also gave us some great honey wafers.

As for the place itself, it's fine, but not amazing. There is a lot of storage items stacked up in the stairs/hallway and the closet on the balcony, which isn't a very nice experience. None of the other units in the building have this. Also, it's hard to tell from the pictures but the bed is sitting behind that big white dresser in the one room (it's a studio, not a 1 bedroom as advertised. See picture 4/8). The kitchen floor needs to be re-done or painted. There's a large crack in the wall behind the bed. The towels smelled a bit. Overall, the apartment was clean though.

You're paying for the location of this place and the responsiveness of the hosts. The views are quite nice as well. Just don't expect to be wowed by the apartment itself.
