The location of this apartment is terrific for exploring Amsterdam on foot. We felt like John & Yoko hanging out in the bedroom in the evening reading under the comforters on a chilly night. There were a few issues that went unresolved - no heat the first night, no lights in bathroom, tilt up bed only worked on one side. Each area is very small and if you want to sit in the "living area" you need to turn the heat on before you go there. Gerald is a kind host and was helpful with suggestions. While the apartment is very quiet and appreciated for light sleepers like myself, the pub a few doors down gets very raucous on a Saturday night until 4am. Bring ear plugs.
