The flat is exactly as the pictures show. It is gorgeous.
What impressed us most was how well equipped the place was. It felt like staying at a friend's house, where someone lives, rather than a hotel, where you only get the bare necessities. There was even toothpaste and pads, for travelers who might have forgotten to bring some with them! The kitchen is fully equipped and there were even Nespresso pods. This is the mark of a thoughtful host who wants his guests to truly feel at home.
Everything was very clean. The beds were comfortable.
The location is on the best street, in the best neighbourhood in Amsterdam, in our opinion. Away from the seedy city centre and large crowds, but within walking distance of all the main attractions. Although at times the street can be noisy, once you're downstairs with the bedroom door closed, it's completely quiet.
Gerald was always friendly and helpful and made check-in and check-out super simple. Although there is a shared entrance, so he has to go through the common area of the apartment to get into his flat, he was always very quiet and respectful on his way in and out.
You won't find a nicer place to stay. We'll recommend it to any of our friends who travel to Amsterdam and we'll certainly be back as well.
