This apartment is in a great location with a tram stop super close that makes it easy to get around Amsterdam and to Centraal Station. The room itself was clean and bright, shown as advertised, minus the yellow couch as seen in the listing pictures. When inquiring about storing our luggage at the apartment prior to check-in, the host did not answer. When I messaged him again the day of the reservation, it took several hours for him to answer and we had to pay to store our bags in the mean time. We were however, able to check in 2 hours early which was greatly appreciated. The coffee machine worked perfectly fine. The kettle was rusted and has black pieces that came out with the water, so we were unable to use it. There are at least 3 other units in this space all sharing one bathroom. Two out of three mornings that we were staying here, we had to wait over 20 minutes to use the bathroom, just to brush our teeth. The shower was open concept, which means that when someone showers, the entire bathroom gets soaking wet. Waiting for 20 minutes to use the bathroom and then having to stand on the wet floor with remaining water from a stranger’s shower was not ideal. The room had no odour, but the main hallway and bathroom had a strong smoke and incense smell which was not pleasant. The room had its own key, but the door to enter the apartment did not have a key and didn’t close securely. We were assured that the building was secure, but people from other floors in the building could have easily walked into the apartment. The door to enter the apartment had a partial whole from getting kicked and so did another one of the doors in the apartment. The stairs were super steep - typical of Amsterdam - but the stairwell was not well light which made it dangerous at night. Would recommend this place if you have low expectations and are able to wait 20 minutes or more in the morning to use the bathroom!
