Excellent location, beautiful apartment, and very easy communication and check in. Highly recommended. The apartment is in a very good neighborhood with shops and restaurants close by, but outside the craziness of the center. Perfect biking distance (10-15 minutes) to the tourist sites, but we spent most of our time in and around De Pijp. Quick access to the scenic riverside bike trail to Oudekerk aan de Amstel too. As others have mentioned, the stairs to the apartment are short but very steep, so keep that in mind if you are concerned about it. Overall a great host and a great place to experience Amsterdam.
