A very nice flat which is perfect for exploring Amsterdam. Conveniently close, no more than a 20 minute walk, to the station and also from central Amsterdam. The interior has been redecorated from what we expected from the photos: a very nice and stylish space! Also if you like coffee there is an excellent coffee shop right below, but you’ll need to join the waiting list as it’s very popular.
While the flat is extremely well insulated from outside noise, it does share the building with two other flats. We found that noise from those flats carried into our room. Expect to be woken by slamming doors if your neighbours come home in the early hours. This is, however, a small complaint, as for the most part our stay was quiet and peaceful.
The bed could be more comfortable - advertised as king size when it is two singles pushed together.
Ivan is an excellent host and I would highly recommend both him as a host and this apartment as a place to stay for your trip to Amsterdam!
