We were not able to meet Ivan because he was out of town but his representative was a pleasant person. Whenever we ran into a problem, Ivan was easy to contact on the phone and was able to direct us to the local grocery store as well as direct the other guests who arrived at the apartment at different times.

The apartment was clean and met our expectations from the pictures. The environment calm enough to enjoy a peaceful night, yet close enough to the vibrant central district for those who want to get out in the night or during the day.

The Amsterdam Centraal Station is a 15-20 minute walk away and the Jordaan District is about the same. Outside of our apartment is a beautiful canal and a small network of restaurants and cafes. Across the river are some notable pieces of architecture including Renzo Piano's Nemo Science Center and the Central Library by Jo Coenen & Co Architekten.

I would recommend this place to anyone who is travelling in groups of 6. There is a mattress on a couch frame fit enough for a 7th member, however this disturbs the privacy of the bedroom so 6 people are ideal.
