We were travelling around Europe this summer and Amsterdam was one of our very first stops. The flat itself was quite easy to find and not too far a walk from the metro which is great.

On arrival we found it difficult to find which flat we were staying in as we were not given an apartment number, but luckily a waitress in a restaurant saw that we looked like tourists and gave us the key to the apartment which had been left with her. When you walk through the doors, you are greeted by some extremely steep steps up to the front door and this proved a little tricky from time to time with our big travel bags. However the apartment itself is lovely with a stunning view of the canal and situated in a wonderful and friendly neighbourhood with lots of families and young children.

The room itself was clean and tidy but very small and sometimes difficult to move around, however if you are only staying there for a few days like we did and out exploring all day then this isn’t a problem as it is enough to sleep in.

Guus and his girlfriend were lovely people however if we could change anything we would like to have been shown around the flat a little more and given the opportunity to ask some questions about the flat and the area etc as we weren’t told were the bathroom was and when we could use it etc and we didn’t feel comfortable just using without knowing or asking. The room also didn’t have any cups, glasses etc but had water and we found it awkward to have to keep asking for this and that.

All in all, the room was clean and enough for a two night stay and close to lots of great attractions and locations and situated in a great area.
