Appartement Downtown

Spacious, nicely decorated and comfortable. A beautiful garden opening onto canal and minutes walk from shops and restaurants

The hot water supply took some time to heat but fine once we had worked it out

The photos and descriptions of the apartment were exactly correct. No surprises. If was lovely and quiet. Well appointed.

Nothing really. Maybe have some pillows that weren’t as thick.

Host Dave lives upstairs and is very helpful. Comfortable bed, good sound insulation, spacious and beautifully decorated with high ceilings. Netflix available on TV. Convenient location within walking distance of the old town, restaurants and supermarket and 1 minute to bus stop for train station, airport, Keukenhof Gardens etc.

There is no dedicated bathroom; the toilet and shower are in cubicles off an unheated corridor but this is not a major problem for a short stay. The lights are on a motion sensor and the toilet one goes off after 30 seconds - lots of arm waving required to stay lit. We made Dave aware and he is looking into adjusting the timing. The insulated windows mean you can't open them for ventilation at night. There is no hob which we were told is due to regulations but otherwise the kitchen is well equipped.

Great location, tastefully refurbished. Lots of space, everything need is inside, the building has a good size garden that leads to the canal. There are many restaurants and cafes in the area. Haarlem is just lovely.

Location. The apartment was clean with lovely furnishings. Garden area was great. Welcoming host with complimentary wine and snacks.

The common area is shared with owners, i.e., the area housing the toilet and shower is easily accessible by owners between 10am to 9pm. As is the kitchenette area. Its used as a walkway to get to the garden area. Toilet is very tight space. Leg touches the main door when seated. Not ideal for even for me of average height and it was uncomfortable. Check out time is 11am, however . I made an error in advising check out at 8am hence ,change in plans and an oversight by me, decided to leave at a later time 9.30am. Advised owner leaving at 9.30am when it became an issue with the owner as he advised needed to get cleaners in for next guest checking in early at 11am! ! I was asked if we could leave at 9am to cater for cleaning. Whilst I did point out check out per website is 11am , we did leave early at 9am. So a good stay was overshadowed by the Check-out debacle!

The apartment was far larger and beautiful than it looked in the photographs. The couch was incredibly comfortable. It was so easy to walk to everything we needed - groceries, train etc.

I was a little surprised that the kitchen did not have a stove. I understand that this was because of regulations and during the stay I wasn't trying to cook beyond oatmeal in the morning for breakfast. The kitchen was well equipped with everything else.

Comfort of accommodation, garden and location.

Nothing

This is a stylish apartment, tastefully furnished and decorated, in a convenient location for visiting. Our host Dave was very friendly and attentive to our needs.
