We loved this apartment! The layout is very efficient and nicely thought out. The floor plan affords privacy for showering and dressing in a loft style apartment. There is a nice balcony that we didn’t use due to the weather (we visited over New Years) but this would be a big added benefit in warmer months. Karen was very welcoming and warmed the apartment with cookies and beverages. Communication before and during our stay was immediate and made us feel safe and secure. The apartment was spotless and decorated/designed with cool art and furnishings. We felt very much in our own space and in a quiet apartment all to ourselves. It is located up 3 flights of a typically steep Amsterdam house, so I would not recommend this for anyone with physical challenges.
The neighborhood is great, a quieter refuge amidst the bustle of the city, and with Foodhallen and other places to eat just a minute or two away. We fully intend to return to Amsterdam again, and if this apartment is available we will happily stay again.
