This charming home in Amsterdam provides an incredibly convenient location from which to explore the rest of the city. In the immediate vicinity are a wide variety of shops and restaurants, as well as two grocery stores. The Vondelpark, canal tours, and Leidseplein (a busy, fun, touristy area full of bars and restaurants) are all in easy walking distance and there's also a nearby tram stop, which is a great way to get around the city.
The interior of the house was a great combination of old world charm and modern convenience, with an updated kitchen and bathroom and easy wifi access as well as comfortable furnishings and lovely decor. The weather didn't allow us to take advantage of it, but there's also a roof deck.
My only note to potential future guests is to be prepared for the stairs, especially if you're traveling with smaller children or anyone who has mobility issues. Although it's apparently a well-known phenomenon (https://stuffdutchpeoplelike.com/2012/09/02/no-35-impossibly-steep-stairs-aka-the-death-trap/), I was totally unprepared for the unbelievably long and steep staircase that greeted me as I came through the front door, and getting our luggage up the first time was a challenge. The interior stairs, though not as long, are also quite steep and curved. However, we were traveling with our 4-year-old son, and with a few tips about using the railing and stepping on the widest part of each stair, he was able to handle them without any trouble.
All in all, this was a fantastic place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic and enjoyable Amsterdam experience.
