    Nothing. It was everything we needed.

    This is a really lovely property in an excellent location. Close to multiple public transport options and also walkable distance to many sights. Very friendly and helpful host. Apartment is comfortable, light and bright with lovely views over the city. Yes - the stairs are steep and narrow, but that is made very clear so don’t book it if you are not able to climb them.

    Light in the bathroom didn't work but was substituted by a different lamp and repaired shortly after we left. Motion sensor for light in the hallway outside the apartment didn't work. No big thing:)

    We had a nice stay at Iwans place. The location of the apartment is very comfortable - tram station at the doorstep (~15 minutes to the center) and in a nice, quiet neighborhood with small supermarkets and various restaurants in walking distance. The apartment itself is well equipped, spaceious and clean. We appreciated coming back to this "home away" after a long day out.

    The stairs are very difficult if you have large luggage and 5 floors to climb, narrow steep stairs is ridiculous!

    The only downside were the flights of stairs to reach apartment on first day! But then again, we had 4 suitcases to bring up! Going down was easier.! But having said that, l wouldn't hesitate to rebook again and hopefully travel lighter! As it is a charming older building, there aren't lifts. But definitely well worth the climb!

    The location was more than we hoped for. Local neighbourhood was charming with easy and quick access to shops and public transport. Only a few tram stops to the centre of Amsterdam and all places of interest. Evenings in the apartment were cosy and very quiet! A peaceful neighbourhood. Iwan and Abdo, our hosts,were on hand for all our queries and any house related issues. We were even offered late check out as incoming guests wouldn't be arriving till late. We didn't have to do this as other options were presented to us, but we appreciated the effort to accommodate us if possible. Would definitely ensure another reservation if retuning to Amsterdam.

    Actually for such a lovely place , I cannot think of any problem at all. If I come to Amsterdam , am sure to request for this apartment again. My family did not have an issue as we took it as a daily exercise. Please remember apartment is on a higher floor and climbing 3 floors is required.

    The location is very convenient . The view from apartment is fantastic. Tram Bus Metro . Anything I could think of was already there in the apartment . Coffee, Sugar , washing machine, oven, iron , clothes stand. Most important was the continuous interaction patient guidance from Iwan where he made everything so easy to understand and made us so comfortable and at home away from home.

    The living room cushions needed a wash as I think the sofa is sometimes used as a sofa bed, bath tub needed bleach or deeper clean to remove stains

    The apartment was perfect for our stay, since we participed at an event in the RAI convention center. It is really beautiful, comfortable and very clean. Public transport with good connections to central station and city center are more or less directly in front of the door. The owner is super friendly and helpful and responds to any question immediately! There are quite steep stairs to get to the apartment, which is very typical for Amsterdam. Supermarkets and nice restaurants are in walking distance. We fully recommend this appartment!!!

    We really enjoyed our stay in the flat, a long with Iwan's tips and recommendations on the area. Of course the place is not in the city center, but the neighborhood around is quite nice and relaxing with plenty to do. Would definitely stay here again.

    read the description carefully re location-it is about 40 mins walk and 15-20 mins on tram from centre. also 81 narrow steps to get up which may be difficult for some - just something to be aware of really not a big complaint. would be good to have more info available when you get there re how to access the centre, nearest supermarket, shops and restaurants etc in area.

    really clean and very well equipped.

    This is not a dislike but if you have mobility issues the stairway up to the apartment could be difficult

    The area around the apartment is lovely. Lots of great shops and fantastic restaurants. The panorama view from the apartment is wonderful, especially at night. The host was very welcoming and helpful and finally the public transport links are pretty much on the doorstep
