WiredPuppy, it looks GREAT to me. Although there is no map, it seems to be in a great location. I'm bookmarking it!

Grassshopper, if we take it. I'll come back and let you know what we think. We're going in April.

The address is Prinsengracht 79-P

It really is a good location. Amsterdam is very walkable (bikeable) and anything that is too far afield is easily reached by tram. In that apartment, you will feel like a local!

52 sq ft seems a little small to me. Of course that's a typo but even if they meant 52 sq meters it's not exactly roomy for 4 people (1 bedroom, 1 couch, 1 bathrm). It looks good and the location is fine but I think you could do better for the price. Base price is listed as €150 but add €30 extra for each person in excess of two, then add 11% tax and that comes out to about €233/nt.

For comparison, I skimmed the VBRO listings and this one looks better for 4 people:

It is 100 sq meters, has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and the price is lower and includes tax and breakfast. Location, appearance and reviews are all good too.

Thanks bluestar, but we really want a canal view. I'm guessing that's part of what makes it more expensive. The space is fine, almost 560 square feet. We've done smaller and it was A-ok!

52 square feet - that would be 10 feet by 5 feet - not possible. (In NYC it is illegal to build an apartment less than 400 sq feet.) Even if they mean 52 sq meters - that is about 550 sq feet - a reasonable size for a basic one bedroom.

A couple of notes:

This is the 3rd floor - which means up 3 flights of stairs (didn;t see elevator)

I'm not clear about the beds - looks like a double in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the LR - but not sure of the size

Hi nytraveler! I certainly hope it's 52 sq meters! It looks bigger than that, but don't they all?! Happy the bathroom has a vanity with two sinks. We really don't need it to be "roomy" - cozy is fine. A few other canal apartments we looked at that are 2 bedrooms either have no reviews, or are *very* expensive.

We have no problem with stairs, we're all fit and athletic. And yes, it's a one bedroom with a sofa bed.

The apartment is just great..I would have loved to stay there for few days in September but I realized that is on the third floor without the lift.

I love the canal view..the last time that I were in AM..I had a room facing the canal..Just loved it..

Very nice apartment, well located. If you are happy with the price and size, I see no reason why you wouldn't book. I once stayed at the Toren, a little further along Prinsengracht. Gorgeous canal.
