Nice property. Trying to find the exact local was a little challenging but not a big deal. I definitely recommend this property if you are traveling with kids

The apartment is fully equipped with the things we needed. It’s a great place to stay if you’re here for a long time. The closest grocery store would be the one close to the ferry which is a 20 minute walk from here.

We loved our stay at YAYS, the apartment was beautiful and very clean. Four of us stayed and it fitted us all well. Great amenities and tea/coffee provided. The beautiful balcony was a bonus! I slept on the sofa bed and it was very comfortable. Thank you so much for our stay 😊

Great spot for a weekend stay in Amsterdam
A great 2 bedroom apartment, well-equipped with everything you need for a long weekend trip. Perfect place to stay for 2 couples or a family travelling. Comfy beds, super clean and great facilities: huge shower and kitchen with utensils, fridge and cooking appliances. Check in was super smooth. The place is "concierge-less" and you receive your keys via email on the day you checkin, which are shareable with your party. The location is a little bit out of the centre. It's north of the river across from Central Station but its only a 15-20 minute direct walk to the F3 ferry which is free and comes every 5 minutes or so. It goes from directly outside the Central Station. We had no problems walking to and from there everyday and then you're straight into the heart of Amsterdam. It is in a safe and quiet residential/industrial area and there's not a lot immediately around the hotel. However, there is a cafe directly across and a supermarket 15 minutes walk away.

Far from convenience store and metro/subway
The apartment was decent and modern, clean and comfortable beds, but be prepared that it’s in the middle of a lot of new developments and it’s pretty far from the nearest shop or most public transport. I think there is a bus that runs outside the property but the metro is too far for most people. Uber was the only real option for us. I wouldn’t stay here again for that reason.

Excellent stay. Group of 4 friends , more then enough space . Clean and tidy . Balcony views are beautiful. Staff at reception very helpful and lovely. Free regular Ferry close by which takes two mins to get to Amsterdam central. Only drawback is there’s no elevator service so if you have luggage maybe a struggle

Great stay
I was worried after seeing some of the other reviews after booking however was relieved when we arrived at the apartment. It was perfect. Yes it is out of the way and a bit of a walk to the ferry but honestly it wasn't really an issue. Comfy beds, decent amount of space, no noise, clean. The only problem was the lack of air conditioning. We were happy with our stay and would stay here again. (4 adults, Manchester UK)

Property was further from the city then was explained, long walk from the ferry. Air conditioning could not be controlled within the apartment. I tried contacting via Whats App but was not successful. Balcony door in living room served as fresh air. No window could be opened in bedroom. Apartment was clean. Dishwasher and washer were a great help. Would have given a better review if we could control air conditioning

Lovely apartment but far away
This was a nice apartment a short ferry ride from Amsterdam central. Only issues were collecting the keys as we had to take our luggage to the other side of Amsterdam and then back again as collection from the airport was unavailable. The apartment was hard to get to due to a market on the weekend which couldn’t be helped. Also the ferry was sometimes a 30 minute wait and another 15-20 minute walk after but overall a lovely apartment. Finally, no additional toilet paper was available.

Great stay in an up and coming area
The apartments were clean, comfortable and well equipped. The beds and pillows were like clouds ;) The local area is up and coming, nice walk to the free ferry to central station and some really cool bars (pllek and noorderligcht) near by. Cool street art and the monthly flea market is a must if you like vintage/alternative stuff. Key pick up st the airport was easy and friendly. We had a brilliant stay for ky hen do, would definately go back!

Experiencing life like a local
We stayed at NDSM for 2 nights in a 2 bedrooms apartment. They given us a ground level apartment. It's a nice modern hotel but it's very cramped. The 2 rooms are small (just enough for beds) so we have to put all our luggages out in the living room which is tiny in itself. The bathroom is designed for wheelchair so it's huge. What it means for us is a wet bathroom. Now location... it a little distance from Amsterdam central. When we checked in we were told to catch a free ferry from Amsterdam central. Ferry ride will take about 5 mins. We then had to catch a bus for another 10 mins and walked for another 10 mins. What we found out later, bus ride is actually a better option. A bus from a Amsterdam Central will take about 10-15 mins then you just need to walk about 5 mins. It's definitely a better option in our opinion especially dragging your luggage in and out of transport system can be a pain plus figuring out which direction to take. There is no supermarket nearby that we can see so we buy our groceries from Amsterdam Central. Now about checking in, we checked in at the Amsterdam airport. To my knowledge you can only do it from somewhere in the city centre but that's means a tram from Amsterdam Central. Also they are pretty strict with their check in time. We were given options to come back at 2pm (we did all the paper work around 12.30pm) or 45 euro and you can get the key then. We opted to wait till 2pm.

Hello Claus,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry about the challenges you experienced with the check-in. As we are a non-concierge location and do not have a reception on site, we require that all our guests over 16 years old fill out an online check-in form before arrival. In the rare occasions they are not able to do this, we also offer the option to do the check-in process in-person, at our closeby sister location with staff on site. We always strive to provide you with the best experience and support, so we are glad that we did manage to get in contact with you and your team to try to assist with the check-in via telephone. Unfortunately, these are the only two options available to do the mandatory check-in process. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.Kind regards,Joana - Guest Services
