Very easy access, no insects in the room or on the bed. One of our problems is that there's no door to the bathroom and one of the window curtains was missing, so only half the window was covered and the neighbors have a direct view into the room and can see you while you're using the toilet. I had to improvise to cover the window!!... Room is not bad, but it could be in better conditions.

Great location and authentic feel

The location is beautiful and the apartment is very clean and well styled. The property was a little tricky to locate at first as there is no signage/reception. Be aware that you will need to take your luggage up a very narrow flight of stairs.

First of all can we say we were a bit hesitant about staying due to the previous reviews. So we saw NO bed bugs , the bedding was clean , toilet and sink both worked. The room would benefit from a deep clean and a lick of paint but apart from that everything was fine. We would not stay again due to the stairs as a we are in our late 50s and they are quite steep. The position of the accommodation is great everything within walking distance

It’s a loft room so has lots of narrow steep stairs. Ok with a small bag but tough if your travelling with lots of stuff. That said once you have made the climb like any decent hill the view from the top was worth it. Nice room. Clean. Bed very comfortable. Shower is great. All you need really. Great local atmosphere with bars and eateries near by. Would recommend.

Good location, no shower pressure and road works

Good location and very spacious room. Access was easy. However, the shower is a real dribble (not enough water pressure) and there is major road works on the street which are audible from bed. Not only you can hear the noise but the bed also will vibrate in the morning as the excavators are doing work. If they fix the water pressure and the road works get done it's a good location.

Localization is perfekt. You can just walk everywhere and stop at your apartment as needed. I was really disappointed over how dirty the studio was. Carpet seemed to not be vacuumed. Because of the ceiling fan, dust was basically everywhere, even in the air. Overall: really good localized studio, but it wasn’t as good as it seemed to be on the pictures. Needs some serious cleaning.

Pros: • The check-in and check-out process was very smooth and straightforward. • The apartment offers space — quite rare for Amsterdam, where accommodations are often cramped. • Friendly and responsive service — I called in advance to ask a few questions and received helpful information. • Great location: both the Vondelpark and the city center are just a 10–15 minute walk away. • There was a small coffee machine with capsules available (we didn’t use it since we were out most of the day). Cons: • The carpet might not be the most hygienic choice, especially since there’s no dedicated area to remove shoes. My fiancé has a dust mite allergy and wasn’t feeling his best during the stay. • The shower head didn’t stay in place properly, and only one of the toilet flush buttons was functioning. Overall: We also checked for bedbugs and found none. All in all, it’s a fine place for a short stay of a few days.

We did not receive notification our room was ready until we prompted after 3pm. No toilet paper, so communicated immediately to staff, but no response until next day. Had to ask friend for TP, which was embarrassing. Staff realized we were missing bath mat, additional towels and coffee pods, so sent next day. We are young, but stairs would be difficult for older guests with bags. Should be warning about this in bio. Bags of laundry littered the common hallway for 2 days. Unique space, but not worth the trouble, however neighborhood and location are great!

Review of Kerkstraat Residence – Amsterdam We recently stayed at Kerkstraat Residence in Amsterdam and, unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. The Positives:
 Kerkstraat Residence is centrally located, making it easy to walk to shops, museums, and restaurants. This made our time exploring Amsterdam very enjoyable and convenient. The Negatives: 
The accommodations were disappointing from the moment we arrived. Our room was not prepared upon check-in, a frustrating delay as we had to wait for a housekeeper to clean the space. The innkeepers were unable to provide a clear explanation, other than blaming Expedia (our booking platform), though they did promptly send someone to clean. The initial impression of the property was quite poor. The carpet inside the inn was dirty and unvacuumed, and outside the entrance, we were greeted by a dead plant in a pot—a small detail, but one that set the tone for what followed. The last-minute cleaning job, though appreciated, was rushed and did little to improve the room’s overall presentation, which was modest at best. The reality of the room did not match the online images we had seen when booking. There were multiple maintenance and cleanliness issues, including: Non-working light bulbs (only one bulb functioning in a fixture that should have had three), inadequate bathroom lighting, dirty carpet, even after being vacuumed, no place to hang bath towels, a filthy bed headboard. The space felt more like a hostel.

Entry into the unit was up a steep, filthy flight of stairs. Once inside the bathroom was clean and the bed was clean, but the carpet looked to be worn and dirty. The. furnishing were terrible. There were two different drapes for the windows we’re probably 8 to 10 inches too long. The one on the left was partly detached from the rail, suspending it. The Rather small tv was in a cheap wardrobe and poorly arranged, wires loose and haphazardly running everywhere. A little attention to details and this could have been a 4-5 star accommodation.

Terrible experience. The apartment was filthy and unfit for purpose – stained bedding, blocked sink, broken toilet and shower, bed bug bites, and no mattress protectors. Curtains fell down, half the lights didn’t work, and dirty bedding was stuffed in the wardrobe. We raised concerns before travelling after seeing reviews about bed bugs, but the host refused to cancel. Once there, they ignored our messages and later denied all wrongdoing. We were stuck as it was Pride weekend with no other options available. Avoid this property at all costs – it is not as advertised and completely unacceptable.

Really dirty place. Everything seems broken. Dust everywhere, toilet doesn't flush properly, you have to do it manually, the button plate is broken. The jacuzzi bath doesn’t work, the shower on the bath doesn't work it was the only reason we chose the hotel. Let down.
