The location is great! My husband and I spent 6 days and we had a great trip. The location is walking distance to pretty much everything in Amsterdam in a safe and pretty quiet location with a grocery store around the corner which came in very handy. There are canals within a block of the apartment. The prior reviews were accurate re: the steep steps, faulty faucet and stains on furniture; however, overall, it was a great value and a comfortable space with a very comfy bed. I would stay again.
