Yays Amsterdam East by Numa

This place was perfect for our family of 4! The building is new, and access with your phone makes it super easy and not having to carry a card or keys around. The space was set out very good and everyone had their own space. Slept great and hardly heard anyone in the other rooms. Easy access to buses and tram... and lots of restaurants and shops close by within minutes of walking.

This has the potential to be a great place to stay. There's local tray, buses and the train stations only a 10 minute walk. The property was let down by how clean it is, the management of other guests and the value for money. In the photographs the apartment looked nice, however, it was very dirty. Someone had done a quick once over of the counter tops and bathroom at best. The floors were really dirty, there was hairs (not the ones on your head) in the bath tub, layers upon layers of dust all over. The poor rug and carpet near the front door looked very worn and old. The whole room was wallpapered for some reasons and it was dirty like 3m high in the air some how. The railing up the stairs was un safe as it's only bolted to the floor at the far end so it wombles all over.. A bar at the end would have prevented this. There appears to be no emergency exit other then the main door itself! All the windows are locked with no key so in the event of a fire outside the main door theres no way of escape. The main issue we had, and we think we got off lightly, was other guests. Despite it being concreate walls, floors and ceiling the floor is "hollow".. or sounds it.. you can hear everything! You can also hear the massive front door closing.. people going down the stairs at 4am in the morning (which the bedrooms are next to). The smell of **** filled the apartment daily.. comes in via the front door and the shared air vents.. nightmare..

When we first entered the building the children who were with me said, “ Ew this place is gross.”. They weren’t wrong. We were there for 2 week Cons: We didn’t have warm water for our first 48 hours. -Rooms 21-24 are not lofts like the other rooms. They are small dark dungeons with no space to move. -Not located in a nice area -You hear trains and sometimes the building shakes. - cigarette burns on the couch - No oven - Not very clean - There is no access to the terrace anymore - The keyless entry is stressful if your phone dies or your data is slow. You will be stuck outside. The wifi doesn’t usually reach outside - Two rolls of toilet paper for one week. Pros - You’re still in Amsterdam. Albeit far from most things. It isn’t that bad if you have a bike but walking that creepy street alone at night is super scary. - Big bed in main room - Even though you hear the trains it wasn’t very loud while we were there

Very nice appartement a bit away from the city center but easily accessible by bus 22 that takes you quickly to the central station. It can be a bit of a party place though. Our upstairs neighbors were a bunch of very rowdy teenagers. The walls are thick, fortunately, but we could still hear them quite well until they left to party elsewhere. The place gives you a nice appreciation of how people get around by boat and bicycles. We really enjoyed the juge windows!

The apartment is located in a quiet area yet two minutes walk from tram 14 which provides excellent service to the city, and five minutes walk from a large supermarket with everything one needs for a self- catering stay. It is very modern, very clean, the kitchen is well equipped. There is a safe for valuables, and the management quickly responds If you have a question or any issues. It was perfect for us and we plan to return next year.
