Easy to reach by public transport from the main railway station, the city and the airport. Wonderful for exploring the city as it is only 5 min to walk to the tram stop. A little oasis with the green and quiet roof terrace and its marvelous view. Checking in and out was also great as well as all the info we got from the owner about early transport and other tips around the city.

The only small challenge was getting the luggage up the steep, narrow steps to the 4th floor, but we managed it.

The photos really don’t do this property justice. The family room was just perfect. We were expecting to all be in 1 room, but the second double bed is on a mezzanine, so gives that little bit of privacy for each room. The roof terrace was gorgeous. A little piece of calm and relaxation among the roof tops of Amsterdam. We didn’t have great whether during our stay but it would have been perfect for alfresco dining and drinks with nice weather. Blaine was a fantastic host, who has attention to detail…from the fresh crisp bedding, to the fluffy towels and the coffee machine for that morning coffee. I would highly recommend the breakfast…a better deal than any local cafe and great value for money. We left full and content having loved a few days in Amsterdam. Thank you!!

Breakfast was traditional European with lots of variety of breads, meats, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, softboiled eggs, muesli, etc. All delicious! Well worth the price! Blaine was a very, friendly helpful host, willing to share knowledge, advice, recommendations. Bed was very comfortable, Location is great. Easy access to tram.

Wish there was a Lift to the 3rd floor. The stairs are steep when you have luggage! But Blaine helped us with our luggage, and I understand about steep Amsterdam stairs--just part of the unique, historical architecture!

The owner was very nice and helpful. Plus, he had a cute dog. The accommodation was in a great location, with great access to the centre (about 20 minutes by direct tram). Even though there was a shared bathroom and toilet, it was clean everywhere and there was no problem. I noticed that there are a lot of complaints about the straight stairs, but after walking the city streets it is clear that this is just how houses in Amsterdam are built, you have to take it into account.

The only thing I would rate negatively would be the owner's not-so-good communication about the planned party.I don't mind that he invited people to his birthday party, that's perfectly fine, I just would have appreciated it if he had given us more notice than an hour or so before. We would have planned the day differently. We had originally planned to go to the patio in the early evening, but that was no longer possible. Later on, the group moved downstairs, which again was awkward because of the shared bathroom and toilet. If we had known about the party earlier, we would have stayed out longer. So it's more just... better communication next time?

Very nice place to stay. Breakfast and the rooftop terrace and the coffee machine in the room were all pluses! Good value for the price but Amsterdam is so expensive as it is.

Im not sure if Blaine has a very dry sense of humor or is just rude. It was a bit difficult to find at first bc Google maps is wrong. Also there are 3 flights of steep stairs, but I guess that’s normal for Amsterdam.

The location suited me well because I was attending an exhibition in the RAI rather than being in central Amsterdam. The welcome was warm and friendly and the roof terrace was available to me to enjoy the beautiful weather

The stairs will be an issue for some visitors, not just to get the accommodation but in the accommodation itself (the bedroom is up some quite steep steps). Having said this it was well worth the climb!

The house was really beautiful and the room was very tidy and cozy and there was always clean towels for use. It was very nice to have a coffee machine in the room. The host was friendly and the atmosphere in the house was wholesome. Also, there was a beautiful rooftop terrace in the house! Nothing to complain about!

Very clean and quiet place in a great location! The bed was super comfortable, and there were lots of restaurants just around the corner. Public transit was easy to use, and the neighbourhood felt very safe. Just a heads-up—there are quite a few stairs, so it may be tricky for older guests.

The stairs

I liked the slightly out of the centre location and the family room set-up. It was a homely place, but more than that as your man, Blaine clearly knows a bit about hospitality. The breakfasts were very good.

We didn’t mind, but if you really don’t like dogs, even really cute ones, it might not be for you, as it’s home to a super friendly young one. Ditto, if you can’t cope with a few flights of stairs you might struggle.

It had an absolutely gorgeous deck. The owner was nice

Room was fine but the ladder stairs were a bit scary and the stairs up to the apartment were extremely steep and 5 flights. The listing did mention stairs but my mom couldn’t get up comfortably
