TWO BEDROOMS WITH TWO PRIVATE BATHROOMS - IDEAL FOR 2 COUPLES

Three great things about this rental and 3 need to knows... 1.) Host was terrific! Super communicative and put any anxiety to rest when planning our trip as first timers to Amsterdam2.) The Location of the Apartment is amazing in the Jordaan close to the 9 streets - not in the middle of the bustling city center but close enough to get everywhere by foot in under a 30 minute walk with so many great brunch options (tip: reserve a table for brunch too)3.) The apartment is exactly like you see in the pictures and is immaculately clean and relatively up to date. Need to knows - -The apartment runs cold. The back bedroom is true to thermostat, but the one by the door and the main living area was not. We turned the valves up on the radiators a lot! and troubleshooted including closing windows tight (we are NYC people and know radiators and funny heat things). It made things a bit less cosy in the cold, damp, winter and we were bundled a bit too much during relaxation time. -This is a below ground apartment - there are less windows and it is a bit dark. - There is a family with young children who live directly above and you can hear the little kiddos trampling about before 9AM in the back bedroom. This wasn't an issue during the holiday week, but as soon as it hit January 2nd and they returned you could hear them. All of those need to knows aren't deal breakers for us at all the benefits far outweighed the negatives.

This apartment was perfect for a couple plus a friend traveling together. We could be together in the shared living/dining space, or retreat to our separate bedrooms. Best of all, we each had our own bathroom! The apartment was ideally located, with easy access to the Centrum on foot or via the trams that ran just a few blocks away. The "kitchenette" had everything we needed to make our own breakfasts, have snacks, and stock the fridge for onsite or packed lunches. Great communication with the host!

Great location

First impression was poor due to the duct tape on the front door. Then the door locks were very difficult to operate(seemed like I needed a secret code). On our first day there was a small water leak in the main bathroom of unknown origin. Fortunately, it did not repeat during the rest of our stay. The location of the apartment was perfect for our visit. Plenty of restaurants nearby and close to museums.
