We loved our stay at the Amstel FAB Apartment in early December. Joke was very helpful with tips. The flat was immaculate and fitted out as advertised -- even thoughtful little touches such as fresh flowers in the wall vases. The kitchen "cabinet" had everything we needed to make breakfast and coffee which is one of the reasons we love renting a flat for holidays. Yep, even a small fridge is in there! We walked nearly everywhere, but the apt is a 5-7 minute walk from either the #10 tram or the Metro line.
If you're looking for a clean, quiet apartment in a historic building and neighborhood, I highly recommend staying here & would stay again. However, if you prefer to be "in the thick" of the Central or red light districts, or can't manage several flights of steep Dutch stairs (68 stairs from the sidewalk, to be exact), this may not be a good fit for you.
