Not a problem for us at all , but some may find the steep staircase to the room on the first floor a little challenging.
The position is superb - close to the station and not in a noisy area. The room was very nice indeed and overlooked a quiet back garden. The bathroom, with double sink and double shower heads, was really nice. The breakfast room was very pleasant - high ceiling and overlooking the canal and street below. Breakfast was good (shame we were rather too sleepy to fully enjoy it) and our host Amadeus was extremely nice and friendly.

Whilst "The Old Lady" was fantastic, people that are not okay with stairs will struggle, whilst we didn't have an issue, I could understand some might! A small light for the outside key hole would be handy, when its dark it was a struggle to get the key in, just a suggestion! our stay was that good I feel bad even for putting that down.
We normally stay in Hotels when we travel, this was much better than any hotel, the room was large, well decorated, facilities were fantastic, Gijs was a perfect host, breakfast was plentiful and delicious. It was clean, convenient and great value for money, I would without doubt recommend "The Old Lady" to anyone. We loved it and will be back at some time, we will not be looking at any other accommodation!
