This apartment is a wonderful place to stay in downtown Amsterdam. We were in easy walking distance of the downtown area and right next to classic inner Amsterdam architecture, museums, and canals. The first thing that greets you when you enter building is a classic narrow Amsterdam staircase of 30 some steps! I thought this was delightful but it would be a problem if you have physical difficulties or need to ferry a lot of stuff up and down during a stay. The apartment is well furnished and the host is super friendly and responsive.
