The room is in Amsterdam-Noord, just 5 mins walk and 4 mins ferry from the very heart of Amsterdam. We stayed there for 5 nights and honestly cannot be happier about the room. It is clean, quiet, cozy and convenient, not to even mention the mini fridge and tea bar in the room. The room is not spacious, just big enough to accommodate 2 of us with a massive suitcase. One thing worth noting is the stairs are very tall and narrow (just like other flats in Amsterdam), and requires some body strength to carry the luggages upstairs.
Mike was very friendly and offered us extra fresh towels halfway though our stay. The neighbourhood is very residential but also has a few cute cafés. We went to Zithoek and had the best cookies there.
Initially we wanted to stay somewhere on the other side of the river, just because we packed our trip with museums and galleries, but the scenery on the ferry every morning going across the river is nothing we would have experienced without staying in Amsterdam-Noord. The metro is also a convenient way to get into central Amsterdam, but we much preferred taking the ferry.
Definitely recommend staying here if you don’t mind spending 15 mins more on ferry trips everyday, and at the same time, experience some cozy residential sides of Amsterdam.
