There were 3 flights of very steep stairs to our room (it is Amsterdam after all) but our host Jasper was very friendly and helpful and moved the suitcases up and down. It is very convenient to trams, the Metro, and shops and restaurants. Some things could have been in better condition, like the stained carpet, but this was a good base for exploring Amsterdam, particularly the art museums. Very quiet at night, too. And a small kitchen and a fridge with a lot of food was provided. Recommended.
