We really liked this property for its location and Fernand is a very nice helpful man. We loved Zaandam and Amsterdam in general. The studio itself is a good size but there are aspects of it that could do with some attention. The decor is quite shabby and the kitchen really needs work. The crockery was piled up on the drainer which we found odd and not particularly clean. The shower was scalding hot and couldn't be adjusted. We should have mentioned this to Fernand really, the actual water was a decent pressure though. The toilet seat wasn't secure and kept sliding off so quite dangerous. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were old and lumpy. It was nice to have the roof terrace but again the chairs were shoddy and the terrace felt unfinished. Although the studio is actually quite clean it initially didn't feel like it because of some of the shabby decor.
We ended up quite liking the studio and it is very well priced for Amsterdam with great transport links and local shopping and restaurants. We'd stay again if the shower and the other dangerous aspects were sorted. It's been mentioned in previous reviews that with a bit of work this place could be amazing and we agree but then the price might not be agreeable to some. Many thanks Fernand.
