Disappointed - many other better options avaliable
Location was good and that was about it.
Information on Booking.com website should have been clear and truthful about the property. Should clearly state that it is not suitable for guests with large suitcases, women who are pregnant and challenging if you can't climb too many stairs.
The property had a steep and narrow stairway to the first floor, biggest challenge is that at the top it curves sharply and narrows. (see pictures) If you are carrying a 20kg suitcase, there is high risk of injury and at the top you cannot have the suitcase next to you, it has to be pushed upwards as it is too narrow. Bigger challenge is getting yuro suitcases down the narrow stairs. We were travelling with three 20Kg suitcases and got it all up with great difficulty, anxiety and a back strain. The 3 days we were there we were thinking of how we're going to get the suitcases down the stairs. Frankly, it is errant of booking.com to not ensure such critical information was provided.
The room and bed was clearly visible by the neighbours, one of the properties had renovations going on and if you drew the curtains it was too dark. The TV was not set up to receive any local channels, practically useless, unless you have you own Netflix.
We paid a lot for this property, largely due ot the location, but it is certainly not value for money and spoilt our trip. Host just gave lip service and offered to help with the bags when we were leaving, but then she was at work and suggest a neighbour to help, after we have left. Claims to have read my message late.
All in all very disappointed and hope booking.com evaluates suitability of the property for listing, so that no other guest is disadvantaged.

Overall, if you cannot find a hotel for a similar price, this studio is an acceptable option because of its location. Ho
The location
It’s important to mention that this is actually a studio rather than a suite, so the listing can be a little misleading.
The biggest downside is the staircase leading to the apartment. The steps are extremely narrow, and you have to place your feet sideways just to climb them. Carrying luggage up or down is very difficult and could be a real challenge for many guests.
Although I understand that the owner does not own the entire building, I believe that, considering the price charged for the accommodation, the entrance of the building should at least be kept clean. The entrance is the first impression guests have, and unfortunately it doesn’t reflect the price they are paying.
The bathroom is another weak point. The shower is extremely small, and anyone who is overweight will barely fit inside and will find it difficult to move comfortably while showering. There was also an unpleasant sewage smell coming from the bathroom drain.

Comfy stay on the canal
Close to transport & restaurants. The slat bench was very handy.
Only one seat at the table, not a big problem. Very steep narrow stairs, I'm aware this is very common in The Netherlands.

Great location right on the Amstel!
Perfect location right on the canal and near the metro. Comfortable room for one or two people visiting.
There is an odor of cat and urine in the hall/staircase not in the actual room.

Amazing location and super clean! All we needed for a weekend trip! Would definitely go back.
Only teeny tiny detail I could say is that I would have loved hand soap in the bathroom. Other wise 10/10.
