The apartment was very clean with all of the amenities that we needed, including a drying rack for our laundry that we washed downstairs. Location wise, it is very close to the main road where you can hop on a tram or walk to museumplein. The bathroom was big enough and the shower had great pressure with hot water! No gripes whatsoever.

My daughter and I had an amazing trip in Amsterdam. The apartment is just a 2 minute walk to the museum campus, a grocery store, cafes, restaurants, and the tram that can take you almost anywhere you want to go. The apartment was clean and super quiet. Even had an elevator which in Europe is a big plus!

We really enjoyed our stay here overall. The location was absolutely fantastic and within walking distance to some of the famous sites, which made exploring very convenient. For places farther away, the tram was easily accessible and simple to use. There was also a grocery store nearby, which was very helpful during our stay. The check-in process was smooth, and the instructions provided for getting into the property were very clear and easy to follow. The only downside for us was the stairs. There are a few stairs just to get to the elevator, and then a steep set of stairs from the entrance door up to the living room area. Carrying luggage up and down was difficult, especially since we were traveling with our 20-month-old and had to block off the stairs in the living area to make sure he didn’t fall. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the great location and convenience of the property.

The location relative to the museums and park were great. There was a bike rental a block away and access to trains around the corner. The actual apartment was clean. The laundry doesn’t have a dryer. You can hear the neighbors walking around and stomping upstairs so if you’re sensitive to noise like me it’s an issue. Additionally, the road was under construction and fenced off. So no car traffic access. However, there wasn’t any noise as there wasn’t anyone actually working. Key card access was simple but there isn’t any other way to securely lock the unit door like a deadbolt or at least a chain. But that could just be the inner city Stateside mindset of me. Overall a pleasant Amsterdam experience.

Having a direct phone to the managers was terrific. I called regarding a problem with one of the appliances and the repair person was there within a few hours. Very nice space. The stairs are steep and narrow (this is Amsterdam) but there is also an elevator should that pose a problem. Overall excellent.

We really enjoyed staying here, it had great amenities, good location and good value. We loved the view and quiet neighborhood. The few critiques I would mention are that the room does not have a microwave, so it’s hard to heat up leftovers. Also, we had the 4 person family suite on the fourth floor. This suite would not be a good place for groups with small children or a senior because while you can go up to the third floor using the elevator, the final stretch from the third to the fourth floor is only accessible via the very steep and twisting Amsterdam style stairs. Also the top of the dangerously steep stairs are unprotected at the top in the corner of the apartment and inches away from the bedroom door. Our daughters were sleeping in the bedroom and we were concerned every night that when they got up in the night to go to the bathroom that they could have easily fallen down the stairs and gotten hurt. If the door opened from the right side instead of the left side, then it would not open up to the top of the stairs. Just a thought.

We really enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam. The apartment was located very conveniently for museums and galleries, as well as the proximity to the tram and restaurants. The neighbourhood is also a lovely place to wander about and felt safe during the evening (though, you take your life in your hands crossing the cycle lane). The owners are clearly still working on the property as there was a lot of banging and hammering at 7am which may not be ideal if you've had a late night or like to sleep in. This wasn't a deal breaker for us however, and would happily recommend and stay here again.

Nova apartments are in a useful location, almost in the museumplein and an Albert Heijn just a few minutes walk away. The number 12 tram into the centre is just around the corner. So location was really the reason for booking. Unfortunately there was building work going on next door during our stay so it was very noisy and the road/ pavement outside were a mess. Once this is finished I’m sure the locale will be much better. The apartment was well equipped on the whole. It could do with another armchair if there are 4 of you staying. The kitchen area was fine , but cooler instructions should be available as the oven wasn’t too obvious! Either that or a toaster made available. The downside of the apartment for us was the open plan “ bedroom” - afforded no privacy and meant we weren’t really able to use the seating area if someone wanted to go to bed. The shower was excellent and clean. We probably would stay again as the location worked very well for our needs.

Disliked: Communication
The property was centrally located near Museumplein, with a decently sized basement level and access to a semi-private patio. However, there was a strange moldy smell coming from the bathroom. The kitchen was functional but cramped and impractical. There was an odd assortment of cooking pots but no pan, and the oven didn’t work. Additionally, a strange alarm near the door went off, and several guests tried to figure out how to stop it. I called the offsite reception, but they said no one could check on it until the morning, meaning we had to endure the noise all night. Upon arrival, we also discovered that the buildings next door were being renovated. Although the notice said work would start at 8 a.m., most days it began at 7:30 a.m. Overall, it was not the best experience.

Excellent location if visiting any of the popular museums and galleries around Museumplein area. Transport links are excellent and various trams eg Number 12 go the the Central train station. I usually avoid ‘key in ‘ places with no permanent staff but it was fine. Final payment the night before (local taxes?) and an e mail giving instructions eg turn up, press reception, let in and keys in an envelope. We requested and received one of the two apartments on the ground floor and it was very convenient. You really do not want the basement as the lift does not go down and the stairs are diabolical. Apartment had all we needed after we had to ask for help in working the oven. Quite confusing. Coffee pods and tea bags and dishwasher tablets provided daily and fresh towels. One odd bit was the absence of any washing machine powder , even a tablet would have done. Cleaner did not know but regular Nova guys turned up and one got us a whole bottle from home. Shower was very good and the heated towel rail a great drying means and it also had an iron and ironing board. There are many eating places around and a large supermarket close by but venture west into Oud Zuid area for a quieter and wealthier area with nice cafes and shops. Lillie’s Wine bar was nice. Vondelpark an easy place fir walking. East a few block we went to La Dilletante wine bar , tiny but young couple were so efficient and friendly. Check Concertbegouw calendar for shows, we did a Peer Gynt matinee.
