Heat

First the place is very clean. The place is about 5 to 10 minutes walk to the center of city. Tons of shopping and restaurants.Second...it says it's on the first floor. In Amsterdam the first floor is actually the second floor. Very steep stairs. If your older this will probably Not workWe had issues with the heat. Emmy kept telling us it was on but it wasn't. After three days she turned it up.

Jordaan - Great Location

My daughter and I had never been to Amsterdam so we chose well with the location of our apartment - just outside the very busy areas and two bus stops from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Served by trams and buses we easily connected to everywhere and we could walk if we had the energy. The apartment is small but adequate. We could see our street from our canal cruise at one point, so it was an ideal location.

Perfect location! Wonderful host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Emmy’s place in the Jordaan! The apartment had everything that we needed to feel at home for the week. Our friends, who joined us during this vacation, were able to stay in the apartment on the ground floor of her building. So, it was the perfect setup for us. It was close to a bus and tram stop, as well as a grocery store, which made it super convenient. The area is beautiful and our host, Emmy, was kind and helpful! We had a fantastic week being back in the city that had been our home for 5 years!

Comfy apartment in great location

The apartment was very comfy and had everything we needed. It is in a brilliant location - tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood with bags of character yet a short walk from the main sights. Emmy was welcoming and told us a bit about the area including a great local bar/restaurant ('t Blauhooft) which was friendly and had good food/beer. Highlights of our stay included Keukenhof and the Anne Frank Jewish Quarter Walking Tour. We'd definitely stay here again.

Emmy was great to communicate with. She gave us a really good overview of the area, she told us how to get around and shared some really nice local spots as for a meal, or a drink. Accomodations were just as pictured, very clean and everything you needed to have a good stay

Great place

Emmy's place was lovely. Plenty of space, lots of sunlight, all the amenities we needed, located an easy walk from the centre of Jordaan. Check-in was seamless and Emmy welcomed us and shared recommendations and directions to local attractions. Would definitely recommend this place to stay. I know others have mentioned the stairs and it's worth mentioning. They get very narrow at the top of the staircase, so going up and down is a bit tricky. But it's not a deal breaker. I'd stay here again :)

Nice place in quiet neighbourhood

Cosy apartment in 400 y.o. building with a contemporary interior. Safe and quiet neighbourhood, but close enough to walk downtown or catch a bus. Short tram ride to the museum district. Enjoyed our stay with a helpful host. Highly recommended.

Nice place in a quiet residential neighborhood

Emmy was a very gracious host. She accommodated an earlier-than scheduled checkin for us, gave us a good intro to Amsterdam and the area, and booked a taxi to the airport for us. Overall a cozy place.

Clean an Quiet

The place was very clean and quiet, and within walking distance of the center of Amsterdam. Just be careful about leaving out any food (or chocolates bars in your luggage), as you may get an uninvited guest. For longer stays and those who enjoy making your own meals, the kitchen is very tiny and no "safe" storage for groceries, except the frig.. Overall though, very good. And - the shower is VERY slippery.

Well located appartement in a house

Appartement located in the center if Amsterdam. Clean but opened during the day. A key is missing to close the entrance door thus everybody can enter in the bathroom and in the bedroom when we are outside. The stair to reach the apartment at the first level is small and dangerous.

A Gem in the Jordan neighborhood!

We had a great time! The property was in an excellent and quiet location, yet close to public transportation. It was truly perfect for my husband and me. Emmy was very helpful and accommodating; we were even able to check-in early with no extra charge. We will definitely stay again next time we go to Amsterdam!

Great Apartment. Magical Neighborhood.

We stayed four days at Emmy’s place on Prinseneiland and absolutely loved the apartment and the location. The place was exactly as described, super quiet and extremely well equipped. Emmy lives upstairs and was full of great info about the neighborhood including some outstanding bars and restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves wandering Amsterdam canals outside the touristy hub.
