The location and design of the crane apartment was absolutely amazing. There are TVs in the living room and both bedrooms (yes there are TWO bedrooms which I didn't realize from the listing). The kitchen was appointed with everything needed to cook meals in the crane. The beds were comfortable. The views of the water were amazing...especially the sunsets. There's a tram stop only a short walk away. The neighborhood has a ton of things to do. There are two grocery stores within walking distance. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again when visiting Amsterdam.

It was crazy hot two days of my stay and there's a LOT of glass in the apartment. Even with the blinds closed, the crane got kind of hot and the air conditioning couldn't keep up. None of the windows open, so it was a bit uncomfortable for about a day and a half. But, it cooled down the other two days and the AC did great. So, just keep that in mind if you travel during the summer. If I had a brought a little fan, it would've been fine. It would be AWESOME if Yays could reserve a parking spot next to the crane for the guests. Parking was easily available on the street, but I had to keep feeding a meter which added up. The listing mentions the stairs in the unit are steep, but they are STEEP. Like, ladder steep. But, in some aspects harder to go down than a ladder. Going up was no big deal. It was the going down that was tough. It wasn't an issue for me, but I can imagine this would be a massive issue for some people. Just keep that in mind when booking. And, if you're in the least bit inebriated, you're falling down the stairs....guaranteed. The hardest part of the whole stay was getting my SMALL suitcase down the stairs when I left. :) Again, not really an issue, but wanted to note for other people so expectations are there. Just a TINY suggestion for Yays. You should put a shelf or basket in the shower for toiletries. For such an amazingly well designed and appointed unit, this was like the only thing missing. It's annoying having to put your shampoo and soap on the floor of the shower.
