The location is absolute perfection! My room was good and quiet however, I stayed there 3 nights and was severly bitten by bedbugs during this period. And in a room that cost me more than 115 euros per night! The staff was super kind and polite, but unfortunately that wasnt' much help upon having serious itchness. They changed the linnen after my first night but that didnt solve it because I woke up with even more bites the following morning. I write this warning here so they can make effective changes so the next guest doesn't have to go through what I've gone. Appart from this, it was a good place, with decent breakfast and decent bathroom - I had no problems even though it was outside my room and shared. Oh, and steep stairs and no elevator, as usual for Amsterdam, for me it wasnt a problem.
