    we only had a tiny issue with the kew to the building, we were locked out for a while trying to open it. I believe the issue has been resolved, since we contacted the host and the day after the lock was working normally again.

    the location was really good

    The fridge was so small and the fiddling around with plugs etc to close the drive door was annoying .

    The bed . The compact way everything was available. The location .

    Very small apartment, a lot of noise from neighbors and the street, and it never gets completely dark at night due to light coming from the bathroom window right next to the room.

    Well located

    Amazing location, clean, comfortable - can definitely recommend!

    There is a small refrigerator but no utensils - which I hadn't prepared for. (there is coffee and tea though). The stairs are quite steep if that's an issue for anyone, and the room can't get completely dark at night because the curtains don't extend to the bathroom. These are pretty minor complaints though.

    So comfortable, great location, easy checkin and out. I really loved being next to the park and the ice cream store. Well connected to public transportation and only 2 stops to Amsterdam Zuid where you can catch a train to the airport. TV and internet were great.

    the location right in the lively Pijp is unbeatable. Bars, restaurants and parks are all within a minute of walking. Metro station is very near, which connects to Amsterdam Centraal and Amsterdam Zuid, therefore very easy to get to and from airport.

    Had booked for 4 nights. Left for a hotel after the 2nd night.

    If you are carrying anything more than 1 small bag, this place is not for you. There is a very steep and narrow staircase that you need to carry your bags up. This apartment is located on the first floor. After you get to the apartment, as soon as you open the door, it’s the bed right in front of you. There is literally no space to open a suitcase without having to jump over things. The shower and the sink are to the left. Once again extremely compact. The toilet is to the right so if you finish using it and need to wash your hands, you need to walk all the way across the bedroom to get to the sink. Our biggest problem was the heat! The apartment was covered in sunlight right from 9 in the morning till late at night and it got unbearably hot. We tried everything possible by leaving the windows open completely but nothing worked. After opening the windows, there was considerable noise from the streets as well, people speaking loudly, construction work, vehicular traffic etc. The staircase leading up to the apartment was considerably cooler than the apartment itself. We were provided with one small standing fan and that’s it. To the owner’s credit, he said he could arrange a second fan but by that time we had had enough. Usually you want to come back to your room/apartment/B&B to freshen up, rest and recharge your batteries but this place was disgustingly hot. Some other reviews have mentioned that it was extremely cold in the winters so there definitely seems to be a temperature control problem. We had booked this place for 4 nights but during the second night itself we decided that we didn’t want to ruin whatever was left of your trip to Amsterdam and we decided to book a hotel in Amsterdam RAI at the last minute at significant cost. That should tell you how bad it was. Amsterdam RAI is just one metro station away from De Pijp and all that it offers while also providing a comfortable stay for the duration of your trip.

    The location is probably the only good thing about this property. There are several restaurants, bars, markets within walking distance. The owner was responsive and couldn’t let us check in early but he was very helpful in allowing us to shift our bags to the apartment at least till it was ready.

    It needs a table! There is a coffee machine, a boiler, and that's fine... but how to use them if there's no table? I'd strongly advice to get something small and foldable. For sure there is a simple solution for this issue.

    Everything was great in the flat, and the location is fantastic. Quiet, not in downtown, but really really close to anywhere using bike or public transport. Beautiful neighborhood as well.

    Size too tiny for 4 nights. Cases need to be placed on floor as no room for case fold out stands beside bed. No hand basin in toilet so need to walk around to shower area on other side to wash hands. No aircon so hot and sticky. Tiny fridge 20 x 30cm. Very steep narrow stairs not suitable for moving larger suitcases. Apartment above being renovated during our stay. Very over priced for quality by 30/40% from experience at other accom through Europe. Very disappointed I didn’t book other option in Amsterdam as I felt a bit ripped off

    Location. Bed comfortable. Host contactable and responsive. Permitted earlier dropping of luggage at 2pm before usual check in at 4pm. Can open windows for some fresh air from street below.

    VERY COLD TINY APARTMENT AND BAD COMMUNICATION WITH LANDLORD
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 3 nights

    Already when we arrived, the room was extremely cold, we could not take ofF the jackets. There are huge windows along all room without any heating. Outside there was 0 degrees C. At 5,45 pm upon arrial we contacted the responsible person. They said there is a floor heating and that they will try to fix it. Owner stopped by once and checked that the floor was cold and that heating didnt work. He said they will try to fix it but it didnt happen and they didnt respond any more our calls and text messages. We slept in completely cold room, freezing, in pullovers, scarfs, caps and extra blanket. In the morning the floor heating still didnt work. From 7,30 till 11,30 we tried to communicate again with contact person and we suggested that the owner stops by in the rmorning to solve it but it didnt happen. We kept waiting in cold room till 11,30 without breakfast. Since it was not possible to stay in such cold room any longer, we packed our luggage and left. Hoping that the landlord or Booking will give us some compesantion since we had to move to another hotel. We were very disappointed from the approach of the landlord that he didn´t admit the problem and didnt want to cancel the remaining 2 nights. By the way the room is very tiny - there is just double bed, window and small bathroom with toilett. RECOMMEND TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS APARTMENT.

    Not a problem for me, but the fridge is more a wine-fridge temperature, so I wouldn't store any food that needs proper refrigeration in it.

    Very impressed with the clever use of space. The design gave this small area a spacious feel, and it was highly functional with everything I needed. Exceptionally clean and well located in a charming area near the metro. Good communication from host, seamless check-in and out.

    No table or chairs to have a meal. Coffee maker but not table to make it on. Odd set up of the toilet and sink with open shower and no divider. Wrong address on the description in booking. Should be 141 not 139.

    Location was great! Close to coffee shops, the Metro and lots of local restaurants. Renovated room.
