This home was a delight to stay in. We chose this place because it looked cute and had a central location and it was the perfect choice. This apartment allowed us a private space with lofted bedrooms over the living space. It is decorated and furnished with a trendy/rustic industrial sort of feel. There were three of us sharing the lofted King size bed and a single bed built into a cubby that the kids absolutely loved and took turns sleeping in. There was additional option of a pull out couch in the living space, but we did not use. The living space was comfortable with super high ceilings in the kitchen and full size table. Although there is no A/C we were there when hot and it stayed cool enough to not be uncomfortable. A huge bonus, if you are spending a lot of time in Europe, they have a washer AND dryer (lifesaver)!! This is a completely separate apartment from the hosts home and it did lock from the inside.
The location was great walking distance to shopping, restaurants and all sorts of tourist destinations. For someone who did not want to take the time commuting from the outer areas or worrying about transportation this was a great location--plus being in a historic, typical home added to the Amsterdam experience. It was an easy walk from the train station, even with luggage.
The hosts were fabulous and were a great surprise. Super helpful, with maps and ideas, local knowledge etc. The fridge was stocked with many basics including fresh fruit, milk, eggs, etc. They approach their hosting in a way that makes any traveler feel comfortable and welcome.
