Idyllic studio apartment close to everything
We absolutely loved our stay here. Edwin and Karin were so kind and sweet, and the property itself was very clean and so cute. It was so easy to reach multiple public transit stops in the area for short bus or tram rides to museums and other points of interest. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing location and hosts
The location was close to everything but surprisingly quiet for being in the city. The hosts were amazing and gave me a ton of information about Amsterdam and what was nearby. It is a 3 story walk up with very steep/narrow stairs (which seem common in Amsterdam) so I would not recommend if you have a lot of large/heavy luggage. The beds had an adjustable base and were comfortable, which helped with sleep quality. I would stay there again in the future.

Excellent location, accommodating host, everything you need in the neighborhood!
John and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Erwin and Karin. Our space was comfortable, everything you could possibly need if you were to actually cook. Bed, adjustable and comfortable. Stairs up to the apartment are 3 levels and are very steep and difficult if you have knee issues or breathing/heart issues. You have to keep in mind that you have to carry your luggage. We are in our 60's and we managed. All in all I would give Erwin and Karin 10/10! Amsterdam is awesome!

The apartment is exactly as described in the listing. There were lots of nice small touches that made our stay nicer than expected (guides, coffee, maps). The stairs are very typical Amsterdam which is how they are advertised in the listing! We enjoyed our stay in the apartment and could walk to everything of interest!

This studio was wonderful. Located in a quiet part of Amsterdam and just a few minutes walk into the center of town. Access to public transportation is a few feet away and plenty of restaurants nearby. This studio is great for a couple or solo traveler. Comfortable and cozy. Hope to stay here again when we return in a couple years. Edwin and Karin are wonderful hosts and communication was excellent leading up to our stay. Can thank them enough for making this trip absolutely fantastic.

The hype is real – this flat is truly a gem! Centrally located and incredibly comfortable, this lovely apartment was the perfect place to regroup and relax after a long day on the town. We especially noticed and appreciated how thoughtful the hosts were at stocking the apartment with just about anything you could possibly need — from umbrellas, to covid tests, maps and lists of recommended restaurants, even a bottle of wine in the fridge! — to make our stay easy and enjoyable. As other reviews have mentioned, the stairs are quite steep (we may have broke a sweat getting our bags up to the room 😅) but don’t let that dissuade you from staying here. It truly was wonderful, and an incredible value! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat, and am looking forward to booking another stay the next time I am in Amsterdam.

We had a wonderful stay at Edwin and Karin’s studio apartment. The location can’t be beat! We walked the entirety of central Amsterdam, seeing many museums, beautiful canal streets, and historical sights. The apartment is well appointed and as described. Beautiful view out the window. Was very quiet for being in such a busy area. Would love to stay here again!

Perfect in every way!
Studio Apartment Palamedes is a gem! Edwin and Karin have created a wonderful homey space. The thoughtful attention to little things—fresh flowers, welcoming items in the fridge, detailed info on the neighborhood, and even a discount card for the market—make the studio a standout. The location is ideal—walking distance to museums and tram stops—and the Oud-West neighborhood is full of less-touristed shops and restaurants. As others have mentioned, you do have to be comfortable with steep Dutch stairs, but it’s worth the effort!

Perfectly Dutch!
This was a very typical dutch home, up three steep and narrow flights of stairs. It was just exactly what I had hoped, but if you have trouble climbing stairs, you might not do well here. The location was very handy to all the major sites, and to the tram stops. We would stay here again. (The original posting mentioned cooking and laundry facilities, but the laundry facilities were not available anymore. It was explained after we booked, and we decided to stay anyway.)

Lodge is perfect for 2 people, as others mentioned, the stairs are a little challenging but don’t let that deter you from choosing this place. Very spacious, more than what the pictures show.

Tidy with nice hosts
The hosts were so kind and helped me with my bags and gave me a map of the city. The studio was perfectly clean and had all I needed. The only downsides were the many stairs to get to it and the tv was older so the streaming device I brought with me was no compatible. Most people probably wouldn’t mind watch American tv with Dutch commercials.
