If you are ok with long walks and small spaces and do not have much luggage, it is a good choice
Pros: Brian, the host, was very nice and provided all the info we needed to get in and use the facilities. The apartment was clean and had the minimal requirements, as advertised. The neighborhood is nice, peaceful, with nice places to grab a bite or a coffee. The street the apartment is located on was quite lovely in October, with colorful leaves and beautiful golden light. The coffee machine and kettle were nice to have around and having shops really close by made it easy to get some tea.
Cons: The toilet and bathroom are in separate rooms and the sink next to the toilet is tiny, I could barely wash my hands. No space to hang a towel next to it, so your options are to get out of the toilet with either dirty hands or wet hands. One of the rooms is really small, barely space to move around. It also has only one socket, which is occupied by the small (and rather noisy) fridge. There is a reading lamp next to the bed, but no socket to plug it into. We luckily had small suitcases, but for anyone who stays longer and has a larger suitcase, getting in the apartment would be a problem because of how narrow the hallway and the staircase are. I understand that this is the situation, but maybe this should be presented in a clearer way in the apartment presentation. The ”perfect location” label is debatable, as the museums and city center are 45-60 minutes walk or more.

Very good solution
Pros: Excellent location, out of the noise and the crowd of the city center, but still near enough to allow us to reach the center by public transport in a short time. In the area around the house there is plenty of restaurants, bars, groceries and whatever you need. The apartment is nice and very clean, ideal for short stays. The host is welcoming and super kind, and contacting him is super easy.
Cons: Definitely too expensive, but aligned with other housing solutions nearby, during our rental period: everything in Amsterdam is insanely expensive, at least during Summer.

Ideal location perfect for seeing Amsterdam
Pros: This is a really good small apartment perfect for a short stay. The location was ideal. It was very easy to get into central Amsterdam but with shopping and dining options just a short walk away. The host was exceptional..really friendly and very genuine both before and during the stay.
Cons: It would have been nice to have a more comfortable seating area in the large bedroom as there is no living room. What is provided is certainly adequate but just not quite as relaxing as a soft chair or small sofa. Really the only point to raise and more of a nice to have than a criticism of the apartment

Great location, comfortable & lovely owner!
Pros: Great location! Clean, airy apartment with bright windows and comfortable space. We didn’t have any milk for the coffee pods (but unsure if this is typical of Amsterdam). Myrthe was so helpful and kind! The apartment was quiet at night, blinds darkened the room for sleeping, and beds were comfortable. Bonus points with an iron, ironing board and hairdryer, as well as usb sockets in both rooms! We had a great time. Thank you so much!
Cons: The entrance and stairway up to the apartment is steep as many have mentioned (was fine for us). However, it seemed unkept and smelt as we walked up to the apartment (shared areas). It was quite off putting at first but the apartment itself was lovely. Some marks and scuffs around the apartment and dirty bedside table but no problem to wipe down, didn’t bother us at all. The bathroom flooded but I notified Myrthe of this and apologies given, likely due to a fault with the plumbing. Everything was fine for our stay, thank you Myrthe!

Great rooms and host
Pros: Really clean and modern. The host was really nice and helpful. Even tho is a bit far from the center it’s close to the Tram, 4 min walking. The location is very quiet
Cons: The location, was a bit far from the center, around 30 min with the tram+metro. The stairs are a bit steep, not easy if you have big luggage
