It was first to impress that this is local family homestay business, you are welcomed warmly and check-in process in person with all details and clear instructions, of course not without a common customer care - "if you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact me" Given the limit space with all the amenities in the room but it is actually what you just need. The cleanliness is of another impression with my "wow" of which you can tell how well the accomodation being cleaned and taken care of. There was a snap cold in Amsterdam that week when we stayed and unfortunately my partner immune system is vulnerable enough to catch a flu. I was quite struggle to find way to take care of him in such new place as our first visit to Amsterdam, eg. a nearby pharmacy, short walk distance to convenient stores and local restaurants for food, a frequent and easy adjustable room temperature for the fever, hot herbal tea on the table and lot of tissues needed (running nose), the hygiene of the facility, all to accomodate an ill person in unexpected circumstance but everything was just achievable so it is incredibly accommodating and convenient. My partner had got well after 1.5 days and we pleasantly continue our trip to rest of Europe The location is also another plus as it is a corner property with multiple directions, 5 mins walk to local buses, the water way just at front door, local stores and restaurants and many bakeries right to the next street, quite and safe neighbourhood in renown Jordaan district. There is no reason for us not to stay here when next visit to Amsterdam. Our host Carlos and Christian are super host.
A bit narrow of stair way which require extra caution but this is not a negative point to me. We were assisted with the luggages by the host and it is easy to get used to.

It was very central. It was spotlessly clean. The bed was excellent. The host was extremely helpful and allowed us to leave our bags before we went to catch our flight.
We had the basement apartment and it was very small. The wardrobe only had a waist high rail, so it was impossible to hang any dresses or longer garments. The bathroom was absolutely tiny, so everything got soaked when taking a shower. The cups were tiny so not suitable for a cup of tea - and only 2 tea breakfast tea bags were provided for our 2 night stay. Most importantly, the photos on the website do not pertain to that canal or the view from the apartment. The apartment is actually next to a flyover and I have included a photo of the view. It wasn’t noisy but it wasn’t attractive as the photos on the website lead you to believe which is highly misleading and very disappointing!

Excellent accommodation for a solo traveller, in the heart of Amsterdam, close to...EVERYTHING and transport links, Centraal Station, from which you can go EVERYWHERE, in any direction you want. I personally chose to experience the less touristy Amsterdam North, which offers a different atmosphere and innovative museums (STRAAT, Moco, Nxt, Eye Film institute...). Catch the free ferry from centraal station in the direction of NDSM and experience a different Amsterdam. Impeccably tidy room, bed, hot shower and last but not least, wonderful host. 🙂 Thank you Carlos!
No such thing

Carlos was very helpful and always there when you needed him. After we checked out, we asked if we could place our luggage in the hostel for a final stroll around amsterdam, and he was so kind and was there when we came to pick it up. Absolutely would like to come and stay here again.

Loved the location close to the canals and nice bars, restaurants, and bakery/coffee shops nearby. The bed was comfortable. The staff was very helpful.
The shower drain got clogged with water after my first 1 minute in the shower. I learned to turn off the water after 30 seconds to soap up, but still, the bathroom floor was wet. Good hot water and toiletries.

Great spot, so close to everything, super easy access into the apartment. Very clean and newly decorated. Super friendly gentleman there onsite to assist if you need anything. Can't wait to stay again. All the facilities you need, iron, fridge, hair dryer, coffee and tea and lots of towels.

Nice accommodations in a very expensive area. Good value. We knew up front that this was a rooming house, as opposed to another property that passed itself off as a hotel.

Very comfy bed, great location, value for money is excellent giving hotel prices and it was easy to find. Only a 10min walk from central station which was very helpful. Supermarket right behind it also. Very easy to communicate with the owners also. Tea and coffee facilities in the room also was a nice touch.
Everything was good. Only thing is it might not suit someone who can't get up and down stairs but we had no issues with this.

Very clean and close to everything. excellent location
the floor got really wet when showering meaning we had to dry it with our towels and soak them with nowhere to hang them up to dry. more towels were needed as we were there for 3 days, when we asked we were given them no problem. maybe a shower mat is needed
