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.

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

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.

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.

We had to call the owner constantly because the door wouldn't open. And we checked in later than expected. The owner of the apartment didn't get in touch for a long time. There is no door in the toilet. We stayed for 2 days, no one came to clean the next day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing works

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.

The Kerkstraat Residence is well situated in Amsterdam and there are easy links to wherever you may want to go, or you can always walk. I stayed in room 1 and it was well laid out and I didn't find the road outside an issue. I did fins a few points that coudl be improved. The advert said that the room had tea making facilities but the cup supplied would only be suitable for coffee and didn't have any spoons. I bought a mug and left it there so you may be lucky to have that one. The main lights in the bathroom section didn't work hence I was reliant on the mirror lights which was far from ideal for the shower. Further to this in the shower the big head was completely blocked, probably limescales or similar, hence the small head was the only option. There was also one of the spotlights above the wardrobe not working and only one bulb in the main light installed. This left the main part of the room a bit dark really. Overall I'd stay there again but I wish the owner would undertake more maintenance on the room.

We booked a stay here in March. On arrival we found the property to be dirty and have a bad smell. The carpets are dirty, and the bed headboard was broken and also smelled like the sheets had not been clean. The pillows are also yellow and stained. The owners were contacted but did not reply until several hours later. As the property is not habitable we had to book alternative accommodation. The owner's pictures do not represent the current condition of the property. Avoid staying here. If you look the property listing on other websites (trip advisor) you will see similar complaints about how unhygienic the property is.
