What a gem of a place! Large living room looks over the Amstel River, facing the Opera House! Close to trains, canal tour boats, bike rental, etc. I look for two things in a rental apartment: good sized sofa, decent lighting & a comfortable bed. Frank provides it all! The bedroom looks onto back courtyard which was very quiet. Appreciated toiletries & sparkling waters. The flights of stairs up, as described by previous travelers, were indeed in spots winding, shallow & slanted, but they were historically charming, not a deal breaker. The prize is opening the doors, loved the sort of mudroom, onto a fabulous flat!! Thanks for the enjoyable visit!
