This is a fantastic place to stay if you want to live like a local but still be close to the action. This is an actual home (complete with sweet cat) in a humming neighbourhood with lots of eateries and food stores very close by and close to major train/bus/tram stops. The apartment is even nicer than the photos and was well equipped and very spacious for two couples. There is a formidable set of stairs so you need to be ok with that, but this is an authentic Amsterdam experience and it was worth it to enjoy the light and quiet in the apartment. Anne and Tim were great hosts - we would highly recommend their apartment as a place to stay.
