Apartment overlooking the beautiful Brouwersgracht canal in Amsterdam centre

Great location

Overall, a comfortable apartment with very nice views and location. For two, plenty of room, for four adults it would be pretty cosy, especially as both beds are in the one bedroom. We have stayed in many rentals and we enjoyed this apartment but the lack of attention to small details was apparent. Minor issues include: zero soap/shampoo, hand soap bottle was almost empty and watery, 4 coffee pods (for a 6-night stay), zero towel hooks or rods in bathroom, no bath mat (we used a towel), no kitchen sponge or cleaning cloth. Some maintenance is needed: for unaligned shower door tracks, some window curtain hooks undone, loose kitchen faucet. These are nitpicky details and did not really detract from a pleasant stay, but providing a few more simple items would improve the rental experience greatly. Jesse did supply dishwasher pods upon request. The price seemed high to us but for Amsterdam is probably good. The “stay tax” and “service fee” added 25% to our costs, but the location was excellent and the bedroom at the back nice and quiet for sleep. We were provided two sets of keys which was great.

A very spacious and comfortable apartment in the perfect location in Amsterdam -- close to the train station and walkable to many sites and excellent restaurants. Easy communication with our hosts. We try to visit Amsterdam every few years and would absolutely stay here again.

The location of the property was excellent. Just think a little more attention to details would make it nicer. The soap bottle in the bathroom was virtually empty and you could tell someone had added water to make it last longer. Would have been nice to have a welcome book with suggestions of things to do and restaurants to visit in the neighborhood. No instructions for stove , tv, washing machine,or microwave. Little things that make a stay more pleasurable. The entrance inside the building looks like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Leaves all over. Bad first impression . There is a little hallway between the second and third door you unlock to get in the unit. We were told to make sure to leave the second door open when unlocking the third door because the light in the hallway doesn't work and it would be to dark to find the keyhole. Maybe nitpicking here but this is the first time we have encountered these issues after mant vrbo rentals. All in all the positives outweigh the negatives but it wouldn't take much effort to make for a better experience.
