Very good communication with the host all the time (before, during reservation).
wonderful apartment with an excellent location, this apartment has a unique view on the busy Amsterdam Street. This street is filled with life during the day ...and night. If you aren't used to the intense street noise of cars, motorcycles and frequent police sirens, this in't for you as the windows have to stay open to ensure air circulation. The downside is that we had to get used to the constant ambient noise and flies that came in as the windows were left open.
this circa 1800 apartment is full of distinctive features faithful to it's build date however we felt that AC and proper venting shouldn't be optional when renting this type of apartment.
the house does have 2 full baths however contrary to it's online advertised, it has 3 bedrooms as the 4th one is locked and used by the owner to store his personal effects. We just think that the advertisement is misleading in that sense.
Cleaning standards aren't the same as in North america, an older house tend to be dusty, I had to clean the light switches and removed the dust out of the electrical outlets. I also felt more comfortable after re-washing the dishes before using them (traces of previously enjoyed meals were showing). We had to call back the owner for clean bed sheets the first day however I do have to give an honorable mention to the owner that addressed the issue the next day. overall rating, 'ok' at best.
