    Smell coming from the bathroom (is due to the old pipes and sewers near by) but does lessen after using the taps and shower and having an airfreshener.

    Great location, cute lounge room and comfy beds.

    The stairs in the accommodation was very steep and narrow, I would stay again if I was on the bottom floor

    It was central to all activities we wanted to do.

    This place is set up as an Air BnB managed by a third party, meaning you will have nothing to do with the live in owner. The owner lives in a seperate area above the apartment and we did not see them the entire time. This does however mean there is no lock on the area where you stay which does cause a privacy issue. The communication around not being able to cook in the apartment needs to be clearly stated as it was a surprise for us on arrival. The WiFi works ok but definitely stopped working a few times during our stay. The stairs are definitely very steep and very narrow but are fine once you get your luggage up. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have any sort of mobility issues. There was a slight smell in the bathroom but was not very bad. There is no AC, however as long as it's not the peak of summer this doesn't really matter. Water pressure in shower was a little low. Overall the cost was a little high for what was provided.

    Amazing location and great living area to relax. The location is so good it does make up for some of the negative features listed below.

    The smelly washroom. The fact that we did not have heater for 9 days except for a small mobile one which of course was not enough for 4 people, the mice and the fact that two sets of keys could not be provided which could have helped us to be less dependent on each other

    The only positive thing is the location

    AVOID booking this place at all costs! We had the most awful experience staying at this place, I wish I could check these reviews earlier. Even I wanted to cancel 10 days before arrival they refused to make an exemption and we ended up having difficulties with lots of luggage with steep stairs. Not only that place was extremely filthy! My niece had an eye infection and I had my back full of bed bugs bites! Bathroom smells very bad and from blankets to towels everything was so filthy. 3 night stay cost us £700 which was extremely expensive for a rubbish place like this! Place is unsafe as there is no lock to separate us from upstair flat. AVOID AVOID!! This place is nothing like the pictures!!

    Only location.

    AWFUL experience!!! UNSAFE, MICE, FILTHY, HAZARDOUS!! Wow we’re do I start.. someone lives up stairs which states on the listing it’s the host, and it’s not!! A stranger! No lock on any door to separate them and us, main front door kept being left open so felt very uneasy. We discovered mouse droppings on work top and floor then when my mother in law sat up reading in the living room, a little mice was running around. The swing in the living room fell down as soon as you sat on it so my mother was injured as she ended up on the floor. All in all, an AWFUL and disappointing stay in the apartment. I spoke to the host many times during our stay and asked them to meet up for check out but no one came. I have sent many messages to request a refund but been refused and ignored. The 3 night stay cost us over €900 and this is NOT acceptable. They shouldn’t be able to have a listing on booing.com! I am now seeking advice from a solicitor and taking this property to a small claims court.

    **AVOID DO NOT BOOK!!**

    First of all the stairs. If you have luggage avoid booking this one. I'm quite sure that most of the old central houses in Amsterdam/Netherlands are the same style. Narrow stairs and no elevator. So every time that you have to enter or exit the apartment feels like literally climbing. Second, you enter the door of the building, then you open another one door and you end up at the last floor, where you can see 2 doors for ''separate'' apartments. Then you understand that the apartment door is without a lock. So the other apartment, in which people or the owner living there, can enter your apartment any time they wanted to. Just to be clear we did not see any stranger in the apartment but we could. I do not know anyone that wants to stay in any house without a lock.... Last but not least, the apartment has a kitchen. But guess what. You are not allowed to use it. Exceptions: Coffee (from espresso machine & tea). PS. The WC the first day was okay, from the second day and on the drain was smelling..

    Nice location & view. The living room was nice and spacious also.

    There was blood splatter and make-up smudged on the wall from previous renter. Sewage smell in the bathroom is extremely unhygienic to the point that it made me vomit. A nice description of the kitchen on booking.vom but rules that you are not allowed to cook. A glass of wine at night would have been nice but the a non-alcohol rule is on the letter in the apartment. No where else is it expressed. Doors don't look and no safes to keep valuables is available. Host gave us keys and didn't feel the need to introduce and show us where it is. We couldn't find it at first as there are no numbers on doors.

    Nothing.

    A Dropbox for the collection of the keys at the property itself would have been preferable for both us and the host considering the unreliability of arrival times surrounding international flights/customs.

    The location, space and layout suited us absolutely perfectly.

    The stairs are a thing! Yes there are 2.5 flights of very tight and winding stairs but we expected them having read the reviews. Literally was the only slight negative but we got used to them quickly, wouldn’t recommend the property if you have mobility challenges or have a lot of luggage.

    The apartment was clean with tasteful decor and good facilities. Having read some of the reviews I wasn’t expecting such a fitting property and really well located too. A great base to explore Amsterdam…. Oh and comfy beds too!

    You can’t lock the door so you have to trust. But everything is safe :).

    it is a lovely apartment for max. 4 person. Its small but enough space for all. When you would experience like people in Amsterdam live - book this Appartement. It is perfekt! You step out of the door and walk about 5 minutes and your in the center.

    Broken fridge (freezes your food), no shower gel or shampoo, no iron, the apartment is for 4 guests but there’s no 4 chairs for them to eat breakfast together (only 3), the homeowner is walking into the apartment during our absence (there’s no key to lock the door), broken handles (bedroom and bathroom), 2 broken chairs in the living room, the pricing on the damages is ridiculous.

    Location, two separate bedrooms, cozy beds, a lot of space to spend time together
