Guest Reviews
- Grig-en-voyage (8/5): - Accueil très chaleureux de la propriétaire qui habite juste au-dessus : on se sent en sécurité. La situation géographique de l’appartement est vraiment parfaite : un quartier calme avec accès à pied à de nombreux restaurants, musées et autres lieux d’intérêt. Il est possible de louer des vélos à quelques mètres seulement de l’appartement. Calme absolu dans la chambre qui donne sur l’arrière du bâtiment. L’escalier très abrupt a rendu l’arrivée et le départ avec les valises un peu difficile et dangereux. L’espace autour du w-c est vraiment insuffisant. Cet endroit est déconseillé aux personnes souffrant de handicap de mobilité, aux obèses et aux claustrophobes.
- cristina (8/5): Posizione ottima strategica e zona molto bella! - Posizione ottima Odore di fogna sulle scale e bagno piccolo e male arredato
- Raul (10/5): Perfecto - Lo necesario para conocer la ciudad
- maria (10/5): Excelente - El alojamiento está genial, tiene de todo y está muy bien ubicado y limpio
- Simona (8/5): - Abbastanza centrale, ci si poteva muovere a piedi.
Molto servito da mezzi e attività. Scala molto ripida per accedere all'appartamento
- Gales (9/5): -
- Fanny (8/5): Correct pour 3 personnes - Très bon accueil de l'hôte, Logement confortable et bien tenu. Installation un peu vieillotte (salle de bain et salle de douche, ventilation bruyante), emplacement excentré, mauvais rapport qualité-prix.
- Hamidah (7/5): 6 nights amsterdam - The apartment is cosy The stairs, the stove which switch on and off intermittently. Toilet was too small
- CRISTINA (10/5): -
- Laura (8/5): Apartamento cerca del centro - Bien ubicado, a unos 20 minutos andando del centro. Tranvía en la puerta prácticamente. En un barrio con todo tipo de servicios y comercios. Camas cómodas y anfitriona muy amable. Está en una segunda planta sin ascensor. Se accede a través de unas escaleras muy empinadas no aptas para cualquiera. No recuerdo que esto haya estado especificado al hacer la reserva. El baño es bastante incómodo también.
- Jeanfrançois (9/5): Un appartement simple et bel emplacement - Accueil de la propriétaire et Proximité du centre d’Amsterdam
- Tome (7/5): - Las escaleras muy incómodas y un tostador sería un puntazo
- Tiphaine (10/5): -
- Lisa (9/5): -
- Denise (8/5): A great place to stay very homely - The location was a little off the main drag but a great walk up to the Dam square where you can interact with the walking tours.
The apartment is very well equipped the host was excellent and great at explaining how all the items like the coffee machine worked. Very organised and clean.
The host was very helpful if we needed any information. The television could have been one that didn't have to go through your phone to work.
- Heather (4/5): Unfortunate, and at 243 Euro per night I don’t think good value. - Good location with easy access to transportation, and the owner was friendly and responded quickly to messages. Very steep stairs; difficult to climb with luggage, old bathroom and toilet, old and cheap kitchen appliances and utensils, TV that didn’t work.
- guadalupe (8/5): - Limpio y cómodo . Muy cerca del centro de Ámsterdam. La anfitriona muy agradable
- Sophie (10/5): Confortable et cozy avec l’essentiel à proximité - Le décor intérieur était vraiment très joli, propre et l’aménagement confortable. L’emplacement est aussi idéal près des transports en commun (tram+bus). Il y a même un supermarché à quelques pas et des restaurants au coin de la rue. Sans parler de Zuhal qui est vraiment très gentille et disponible immédiatement puisqu’elle habite quelques étages au dessus. ☺️ Tout était vraiment parfait, mais si je devais dire quelque chose… les escaliers très escarpés. Comme c’est typique des maisons d’Amsterdam, c’est plus quelque chose à prendre en compte avant de réserver qu’un vrai défaut.
- Sandro (9/5): - La casa è ben organizzata e pulita. L'appartamento è ben attrezzato e in una bella posizione per esplorare Joordan e tutta Amsterdam
- Carlos Eduardo (10/5): De diez - La ubicación, limpieza y muy bien equipado El espacio donde está el inodoro medio escaso
- Pablo (10/5): Excelente lugar!!! - Departamento impecable con absolutamente todo lo necesario. Excelente!!! Todo estuvo perfecto.
- Domenico Giuseppe (8/5): -
- Daniela (8/5): -
- Stuart (9/5): Superb -
- Bikash (9/5): Superb - lovely quiet 1 bdr apartment close to everything, 1-2 blocks from different trams that will get you to most places in Amsterdam with ease. various food options and grocery stores nearby. Unit looks better than on the pictures! Host was very welcoming and we had everything we needed, highly recommended! the apartment is on the cozy side, and the stairs are definitely steep, but its an Amsterdam thing, and its only one flight of stairs. might be challenging to haul large luggage though.
- Anh (8/5): Flat is a good base to explore Amsterdam. Was comfortable and had everything you need for a short stay. - Excellent location near canals (by feet) and plenty of buses, trams. Supermarket nearby. Good communication, quick response to queries and clear infos for check in.
There were plenty of stuff left for us: cafe pods, tea, oil, vinegar, washing powder ..etc. Flat is spacious for a city flat. Felt nice. TV was not working, which is fine for me but maybe a problem for some. Bed too soft but then again, everybody is different.
- Nadine (8/5): Hip location, central but quiet and very friendly host! -
- Martina (9/5): Superb -
- Damian (8/5): Excellent location and price-features ratio! - Excellent location and price-features ratio!
- Lynch (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location host was amazing very highly recommended
- Fay (9/5): Great place great location - Location. Had a very warm and inviting feel. Could have a toaster as the convection microwave took forever to cook toast
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was amazing and very pleasent. Helped out a lot. :)
- Mikhala (10/5): A warm and inviting home away from home - This was the most comfortable of all of our stays across Europe. Comfy beds. Absolutely immaculate place, well done to whoever cleans the place! Had everything we needed. Loved having a washing machine! Really helpful for when travelling. Towels were fluffy and smelled amazing. Owner was very lovely. There is a truly amazing pizza place nearby, proper Italian pizza. There is also an Albert Hejn supermarket very close. Tram spots were within walking distance. Host was kind enough to give tips of which tram to take. Had a lovely stay with 2 adults and 2 kids. Sofa bed was already pulled out and made for us before we arrived, appreciated that very much. One of the neighbours on the upper floor must’ve had some very loud guests at one point, I think they had a hard time making it up the stairs, we didn’t get much sleep there for a night or two. Small constructive tip for future guests, we loved using your pod coffee machine, thank you for having it there, but would’ve loved just a few more pods.
- Ian (10/5): Perfect location to transport and major attractions, well equipped and comfortable apartment supported by helpful host: - Perfect location, well equipped and comfortable, very helpful host. nil
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jarek.kaminski (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
- Iskra (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Not far from center and attractions. Easy access to public transportation. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. The host is very responsive and flexible. You really need to be careful on the stairs!
- Kath (10/5): Anazing Amsterdam apartment with plenty to do nearby. - The location was incredible- close to amazing food, bars and easy transport nearby. Nice walk into the city (30min strolling). Host was lovely and easy to communicate with. We hope to get back to stay here again. We loved everythng
- Elly (8/5): Very good - Typical Dutch house, with a typical steep staircase. Really authentic experience! Very very convenient location, next to tram lines to everywhere! Proximity to supermarket, restaurants and a great bakery for breakfast take away in the morning!
- Barbara (7/5): Good -
- Michalis (9/5): Superb - Very nice and clean property. Excellent communication with the host. The location was very good, we used the Tram for our transportation, there is also I big supermarket 5 mins away from the house.
Totally recommended. Nothing, we enjoyed our stay.
- Katarzyna (8/5): Very good -
- Syed (10/5): Overalll I will give 9.5 excelent experemce good host marveled location - Location is amazing Staircase
- Deborah (8/5): All main attractions 25-30 min walk from apartment - Perfect location Stairs
- Elaine (7/5): Functional convenient and good value - Location great . Functional for short city stay for us and our adult daughter . Quiet neighbourhood. Zuhal excellent to communicate with. Appreciated warmth of heating as weather was quite cold More pillows and extra bed clothes would be a good idea to increase comfort plus a little effort with updating bed clothes and towels in general would add to charm hugely ! A basic list of local amenities / directions left by Zuhal would definitely help strangers to the city settle in quicker .
- Neta (10/5): Nice apartment - Functional apartment, well equipped, clean and cute. The hostess is super charming!
- Yee (9/5): Comfortable stay at Amsterdam - Everything you need also got Nothing
- Alan (3/5): Bitterly Dissappointed - Leaving. I understand everyone has different views of what is good and what is not but I was asked for my opinion and this is it.I did read all previous reviews before booking and I was somewhat surprised.
Firstly the booking needs to stipulate the access to the apartment. Had I known that the staircase was steep very narrow ( 1 metre wide)and winding towards the top I definitely would not have booked here. Lugging 4 large suitcases each to the top was back breaking let alone trying to get them down again.
Secondly. The booking stated TV. Well there was a TV on the walll but unless you had Apple Play on your phone and had an iPhone, TV wasn't happening.
Thirdly the street noise was unbearable and unable to sleep at night.
Fourthly, the Garden view was the back yard of a Tire fitting place. All we could see was tall grass and tyres and the compressor was cutting in at all times night and day.
The Smoke detector in the main bedroom was missing. (Felt unsafe in the result of a fire as only one way in and one way out. Maybe the fire rules and regulations for safe exit from fire are different in Amsterdam)
If Booking.com are placing these listing on their website, they need to verify the listing details.
I waited approx 3 weeks to post the review because I thought I may have been a bit overawed at the time but after travelling through a number of cities and staying at apartments,hotels and bed and breakfasts this listing does not measure up. Sorry
- Kathryn (9/5): Comfy and clean centrally located apartment ran by a great host - This is a great place to stay it’s super central and had enough space for the three of us that went. It was cosy and even had a bath which was lovely in the cold of winter. The host was nice and helpful. Yes the stairs are steep but it’s Holland so that’s pretty normal. The only thing is that we wished it had something so that we could have cooked a little even if it was a single stove
- Kelli (7/5): Comfortable stay and great location - The location was great. Was a seperate toilet. The Dutch stairs.
- Brigita (10/5): Would love to come back - It was a very cosy apartment! Had all the facilities needed, we even realised at the end there was a table top stove, was really cute Stairs were a bit steep but for our group we didn’t mind at all, few steps around the apartment that we kept forgetting about but honestly once used to it was completely fine
- Ye (8/5): Very good - - -
- Trevor (7/5): Good -
- Jane (8/5): A fun and memorable few days - The location of this property is excellent. It is a short walk to the tram stop and a very well stocked supermarket. It is about a 40 minute walk from the central train station. The host is really lovely and met us on arrival accomodating our desired arrival time. The property is accessed via a VERY VERY steep set of stairs so travellers need to bear this in mind if there are any mobility issues. The accommodation is fairly small and functional but as described and shown in photos but was cosy and really clean. It was just what we needed for our stay (3 adults for 3 nights).
There was enough toilet rolls for the whole stay, some bottles of water, cleaning products and odd bits left by other travellers all of which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend and would stay here again. There is nothing that could have been better we really enjoyed our stay.
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location
- Mathi (8/5): Perfect location with great facilities and lovely host - In a great location - very close to the city centre. Had all the facilities we needed. Lovely host who gave us recommendations of things to do. Toilet’s a little small.
- Jessica (9/5): highly recommend - the property was great. just what we needed. kitchen, fridge, washing machine, spacious bathroom, 2 showers, 2 double beds and a living space.
host was helpful.
we had a great time here and if we are to come back to amsterdam we would stay here.
it’s about a 30 minute walk into the centre of amsterdam which was nice as we got the chance to explore the canels. only thing is the air con doesn’t work but we were fine as there was a good breeze when we opened the windows
- Nicola (10/5): fabulous and highly recommended. - - great location to walk to all attractions within 30mins
- well equipped and versatile having sofa bed in lounge. extra sofa to sit on
- supermarket few mins walk, tram stop just outside.
- bars and restaurants 2 mins walk away one steep flight of stairs to get to the apartment but don’t be put off. slow and steady ….!
- Antonino (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is brand new, clean and comfortable.
Zuhal, the owner, was a welcoming host, and looked into every detail, providing everything needed.
She also allowed me to keep the apartment till late afternoon, as it was available.
Centrally located, you can reach all many attractions, walking.
You have local shops and supermarkets on short walking distance.
I will keep this apartment on my list, when visiting again Amsterdam.
It is an autenthic jewel. Not so easy to walk the stairs, as tight, but nothing major.
Pay attention to the walking step in the bedroom's bathroom.
Some more plates, would be appreciated, but not a big issue.
- Peter (9/5): Great place to stay when visiting Amsterdam - Great location. Flexible host. Very clean. More than enough room. Good place to explore Amsterdam.
- Stephen (8/5): Great location and a quieter part of town - Great location and perfect for me and my daughters for 4 nights
- Kairi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hester (9/5): Superb - The location was great. Away from the main tourist areas of town but close enough to walk in. Near to some great bars and restaurants and the Foodhallen.
Good space for two adults and a teenager with a table and kitchen facilities.
Lots of clothes storage.
Zuhal was super friendly and our check-in was easy and smooth. The stairs were very steep (but that's usual for Amsterdam!)
The toilet and shower room was a bit cramped.
- Michaela (10/5): Time spent at this apartment was wonderful! We love this place. -
- Erin (10/5): amazing little apartment , lovely hostess , will deffo be coming back! - lovely little property perfect first time in Amsterdam! x
- Izzie (10/5): completed our stay in Amsterdam will definitely be staying again and have already recommended to friends. - Very nicely decorated and clean, everything we needed was provided including tourist books with info about the city, the hosts were so lovely and helpful, location is brilliant - supermarket and coffee shops on the doorstep and super easy to reach central and other locations. Nothing.
- Giannis (9/5): Pleasant Accomodation - Location only 15 minutes from Dam Square. The apartment was spacious, clean and fully equipped. The hostess was also very helpful and polite! The only disadvantage is the very steep stairs and the absence of elevator, especially when you have big luggages.
- Lorretta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Xabier (10/5): Great Stay - very clean and comfy. Perfect for 2 adults + 2 kids. Much better than the pictures. 100% recomended
- Büke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alia (10/5): Fantastic and cozy - It was the perfect size and location for two people. the extra bed in the living room made it even more cozy for us. Lots of wardrobe space and two showers one full bathroom which just made everything easier.
Zuzu is an amazing host, really friendly and had kept the flat lovely! it was so nice and warm when we arrived as well which was amazing.
Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏽 It didn’t have a cooker - so we couldn’t make dinner at home if we wanted.
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mariana (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice apartment, near every thing on foot. Comfy beds and extremely clean. Hostess was really very helpful and gave us excellent tips. I would definetely return!!!
- Ronald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deirdre (8/5): Westpark Wonder! - Zuzu was very friendly and kindly allowed me to rest in the apartment as my flight was changed to an early morning flight and I arrived much earlier than she expected! The apartment was simple but had everything we needed for a short stay. My only complaint would be the size of the shower/ toilet ( a bit small) and the very steep staircase ( although a feature of Dutch houses) which we weren't aware of before we arrived! Otherwise,the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels supplied. Also nice to have a hairdryer and some toiletries,which we weren't expecting! The stairs and the small shower room.
- Viraj (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bethany (8/5): A lovely place and gracious host, but with some minor poor communication - ZuZu was a lovely host and the apartment was comfortable and a nice size for three of us travelling. It's close to lots of tram stops but also a good walking distance from the sites. Some poor communication. Water in the building turned off for workers upstairs, but ZuZu did sort this almost immediately. Cleaner came before our checkout time so our belongings were left in the hallway.
