Fair
Traveller Type:
  : no too much really
  : didn't look anything like the pictures I was sold with on booking. no mention of a pull-down bed!!loose tap in hand basin,no channels on TV and no mention of being a third floor apartment up some quite severe flights of stairs. wouldn't recommend staying here. oh and we had mice running around as well!!

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : The facilities in house were not well installed like the shower head stand.Kettle is dirty and Bathroom Faucet is not fixed.There is rat in house.Not recommended for people carrying large luggage because of the narrow stairways

Very Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The location is great and staff were very helpful. The apartment is small, but it's very central. Don't expect loads of space!We were a family of 4 (2 young kids). Our particular apartment would NOT have suited 4 adults, but it suited us fine. I would advise that you read the previous reviews so you know what to expect regarding the stairs & the short walk to the apartment.
  : The stairs are very steep, but we read the reviews so knew exactly what to expect. There's also a short walk to the apartments. We only had hand luggage so it was no problem for us. This would have been an issue if we had larger bags.

  : Location
  : Floors were dirty and stained, as if bever been mopped. But tons of cleaning equipment is kept on the landings making going up and down narrow stairs near impossible unless you clean up the cleaning equipment first.The mattresses are actually just bits of old insulation foam.Lots of light bubs are missing or broken.The furniture is heavily stained.The bath had public hair in it.

  : The staff were welcoming, apartment was clean, didn't take long to get into the centre of Amsterdam. Overall a positive experience.
  : Only negative was the television didn't work, it took a couple of days before this was sorted.

  : Location was great. Neighbourhood was quiet. Room was spacious.
  : We didnt get the apartement we booked, there were no soundproofing at all - we booked a room on the top floor, we got a ground floor one. It was a quiet street, but when someone walked next to the window, we could hear them like they were inside the room. The street was quiet, but there was a construction with loud machines, and sometimes shouting in the middle of the night on the street. Also, there was a pipeline in the room and every single time someone was using the shower or the bathroom in the whole building I think, water was flowing loud. Also, one time we couldnt get into the apartment, as the keycards didnt open the door, so we had to walk to the reception desk 10 min away, and back, which doesn't sound a lot, but after a full day of walking with big backpacks, in the night and very tired/hungry was bad.

  : Beds were comfortable in a good sized room. The staff responded quickly to an issue we had with the shower.
  : The appartments are located in a large multistorey house with other visitors whose movements and chatter you could hear on the neighbouring stairs.
