5 nights in Amsterdam
Property was lovely. Had everything you need for
A short stay, comfy beds and plenty of room. Some thoughtful touches like having a library and keeping the guide books others have left was really helpful.
Location was good for us. Not right in the centre but public transport is so good it was easy to get around. Apartment is not suitable for those with mobility issues due to steep stairs and no lift but we managed fine and we’re not exactly gazelles.

I highly recommend this location for a short visit in Amsterdam. The apartment was very clean and is walkable to local restaurants and bars, Amsterdam Centraal (about 35 min walk) the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseums, and more.

Great stay in quiet Jordaan
My husband and I enjoyed a great stay in a quiet neighborhood in Jordaan, not too far from the Anne Frank museum. Our apartment was spotless and the beds slept well. Our host was a great communicator and very accommodating with check-in and check-out.

Great location and as advertised
Stayed for a week with my wife and daughter. Great location and as advertised, bust be ready to climb the steep stairs to the unit.
Exactly what we needed. Clean, comfortable, good beds. Location made for a nice walk (or short tram ride) to everything we wanted to see. Martijn was a great host. We especially appreciated him allowing an early drop-off of bags and then taking our VERY heavy bags up the stairs for us before we returned. Would definitely stay there again.

Great sleep and go VRBO
This is a very clean and pristine little apartment. The host lives right below, so that makes the check-in process easy. The beds are very comfortable and bigger than I thought they would be- one room has a king and the other seems like a queen.
There is one full bathroom with a tub and separate shower and one 1/2 bath in the hall by the entrance door. This was very workable in our group of 4 (2 couples).
The kitchen had coffee available and a little area with seating but it is really not for cooking at home if that is what you are looking for. It was not a big deal to us because we were out everyday and only came home to sleep and shower.
I will say the stairs are serious business. They are steep and plentiful (54 in all). Now maybe 54 sounds easy, but lugging suitcases (thankfully the host brought ours up) and the actual boards being so narrow and spiral in a way, it was tough. Be aware. You will need a breather after coming up and check your heart rate coming down because they are steep.
The apartment is quite a ways out from the heart of the city and the canals make for a bit of a walk to get around, but the busses and trains help.
All in all, it was a great stay. The place was spotless and we loved that!

Perfect location and very comfortable
Our experience was wonderful. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go within about 20 min and the walk was beautiful with all the canals and the amazing neighborhoods. The apartment is spacious for 2 people and designed very well. The beds were soft and we loved having the windows open to have the cool breeze. The stairs are steep and short in depth but not a problem even with a big bag, just go slow. It's so charming overall and I would recommend this space for anyone visiting the area.

Great for short stay
This is a great place for a short stay in Amsterdam. Walkable to all the major sites, with convenient nearby grocery stores and restaurants. Just note, this is an attic apartment with very steep steps and there is no stovetop.

Amsterdam stairs
Very nice, clean little apartment. The host was very helpful in bringing our heavy luggage up and down the stairs. There are 4 flights of narrow, steep, curving stairs, not for the elderly. You have a great view of the adjacent canal. We would stay again.

Great two bedroom top floor apartment in Amsterdam
Loved staying here. Great location - quiet neighbourhood overlooking a canal. All the amenities you could need are here and it’s a great light-filled and airy space. Martijn also let us leave our bags there in the morning before check in, which was awesome after a long flight.

Short stay
I was only there for two days but the place was perfection. It was in a great location. Far away from the chaos but close enough to get to it. Our host was friendly and accommodating. Would 100% stay there again.
The apartment is nice though away from the hustle and bustle, host is very friendly. Two bathrooms was a plus! We loved the narrow twisting staircase (not all would, we joked that our parents would not be able to get up and down the stairs) overall a nice and quiet spot

Nice, But a Climb
We were there for the King’s birthday. The property was clean, quiet, simple and comfortable. Martin was friendly & gracious and made it clear he would make himself himself available if we had questions or problems. Be ready for 90 steep, winding, narrow Amsterdam stairs! We were ready, & took only overnight bags.

Central yet quiet location
Martijn was very communicative and helpful. The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed for a week stay. Easy to walk to many places and right next to the canals, stocked with plenty of coffee and tea, plus a washer for laundry. The stairs gave it extra charm.
