The host met us at the property, showed us around and gave us the key. She was very helpful with answering questions about the local area. The property, at the top of the building, had amazing views. The bedroom, which was used by my daughters was a good size and comfortable. There was storage for all of our clothes in there. The main room was compact but felt spacious with plenty of natural lights from the 3 windows. The sofa bed was already made up for me before arrival. There was a table and chairs and a well equipped kitchen. The host was very helpful with storing our luggage after we checked out. The property was extremely clean and well organised.

The location was very nice. Gabriel was very gracious in helping us by carrying all of our luggage up the five flights of stairs to our apartment. It was similar to a climb to the top in a lighthouse with the spiral staircase. In addition Gabriel provided us with a lot of useful information as to how to get to the museums and other sites. Perhaps what we will remember with the fondess memories is how he helped us to get all of our luggage down the stairs to his car when we were leaving and drove us right to our airline at Schipol Airport. This was so greatly appreciated and we won't forget his kindness! A wonderful stay in the center of Amsterdam!

We did not realize that there would be such a climb to reach our apartment, but, realize that it is just the way it is.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the location of Top of the City. So convenient to everything I wanted to do in the city - whether heading out to the museums (Rijksmseum, Moco, Van Gogh) or to the train station and deeper into old Amsterdam. I prefer to walk, so I didn't take advantage of the Tram which stops less than half a block from the apartment. On the nights that I was tired after a long day of air travel or walking Amsterdam or biking to Keukenhof, I was able to find interesting restaurants on a veritable restaurant row on the street behind Top of the City. Next door is a bakery selling warm stroopwafels, perfect before heading out or coming back from a long day. Shops to buy last minute souvenirs for family are just outside the apartment (including two or three cheese shops). The view each morning of the canal along the flower market was invigorating. I even learned to laugh at the spiral staircase that frightened me on my first day's stay (I remain grateful that the host's kind son took my suitcase from me without my asking and walked it upstairs to my apartment). The apartment was clean - the bathroom, the kitchen, the bedroom, the living area. I had total privacy. I feel that I made the right choice in staying at Top of the City.

The heavy comforter on the bed was too thick for the unexpected warm weather. A thinner blanket or sheet would have been preferable. The bed and pillows themselves are perfectly comfortable.

Rather than staying in a traditional hotel as I had for years that were really just a place to sleep and usually not a place that created any memories, I wanted the experience of staying in an authentic vintage residence. It was great! Although it had some beautiful modern comforts, it had an old world feel. I showed up after a long delayed overseas flight with too much luggage. The owners daughter was so very kind to take all my luggage up the flights of stairs. It was a bit of a shock to me to walk 5 flights of narrow stairs in a vintage Amsterdam home. I figured if many Dutch people of all ages do this every day & look in great shape, I felt determined to do this myself. I also had 2 Dutch friends stop by for a visit and the made the stair climb effortless. By the end of my visit, I had more stamina to walk & explore this beautiful country. On cool summer days, I loved that I could open the windows. On 1 warm night, I made use of the ac unit. It was also nice to walk outside to see many flower shops opening up for the day.. So pleasing to see the array of colors. I happen to use the app Citymapper from this great hotel location for planning walks, train, metro when exploring around.

I didn't get to thank the owners personally on my departure day. I also wish I had stayed a few more days.

Great location! Walkable to all major attractions. Enough space for 4 people in apartment. Amenities like coffee, water bottles, blow dryer… Beds were comfortable. Great communication from Chiara.

It was hot in Amsterdam and couldn’t leave the windows open in the evening due to noise on the street. There was only 1 air conditioner that didn’t keep entire apartment cool. Not a huge issue, but A table fan would have been helpful as we needed to use both the bedroom and sofa bed.

excellent location. very central and within walking distance to all points of interests. Good tram connections. comfortable spacious flat. has portable Aircon in the main bed room. The stairs are quite steep and three floors to go up. Is ok once you get to used to it, but may not be an option for all. Lots of nice restaurants nearby. Host was excellent and very helpful.

Amazing place. Not a hotel with a lobby that is all 22nd century looks (for that I would have gone to the Hague), it is a 17th century building with modern facilities. It was great living, imagining, the Dutch people from 300 years ago going up and down the stairs. It was, to say the least, an amazing experience. The owners of the apartment are a world apart, we where robbed on the ICE train first class from Frankfurt to Amsterdam, (avoid this means of transport of you can), which resulted in our needing to go to The Hague to authenticate the police report. When I told the owner of the situation he personally took us to all the places we needed to go to resolve the mess. God bless them, we would have been stuck without them.

The amount of thieves in and especially in Amsterdam. Nothing is safe once your out of the building. Don't say you were not warned! The ICE train refuses to put sign for passengers to hold on to their belongings because it is apparently bad for business but robberies on the trains, as per the Conductor on board, are a daily occurrence.

Awesome hostess. The location was amazing my Amsterdam's Flower Market. The room was fantastic with awesome cross breezes. Loved that we had two separate rooms for the four of us.

The only downside was the 5 floor steep walk. It was fine for my family because we are a little younger, but for people with bad knees or not in shape, it may be difficult.

Location is perfect, right in the heart of everything. The apartment was clean and cozy and the bed was amazingly comfortable. We loved sitting in the front window looking at the beautiful city and watching the people below. The trolly was minutes away and walking was easy and close to everything. Our host, Chiara, was incredibly nice and accommodating. She communicated before, during and after our stay. Chiara was outstanding. This was our last stop on our holiday and are so pleased with our experience. We will stay here again for sure.

We were told about the stairs prior to our arrival and booking. They are manageable but very steep. If you have heavy luggage it’s a bit of a work out. We managed our 4 large suitcases without too much of an issue

Great central location with a beautiful view from the living room, very clean and comfortable stay. Hosts were friendly and helped us with our suitcases (5 flights of stairs, no elevator!)

Stairs are quite steep and narrow so might not be the best choice if that is a concern for you, but we thoroughly enjoyed the authentic experience of living in a house like this in Amsterdam
