This apartment and the host just went way beyond our expectations. This is my favourite experience with AirBnb so far.
All we were looking for was a decent bedroom close to the Ziggo Dome so that we could attend some concerts with convenience. What we got was a bright, spacious, fully-furnished apartment with the perfect host in Stanislav. It felt just like a home away from home for us.
The guest bedroom was large, with plenty of light, ventilation and a private balcony. The Tempur bed is the most comfortable night's sleep I've had in quite some time. Myself and my girlfriend left Stanislav's apartment with the intention of investing in our own Tempur bed, it is that good.
The main bathroom is clean and spacious, and the shower is powerful with precise temperature response. It is located right next to the guest bedroom. There is another toilet room with hand basin located on the apartment's lower floor, and this is also clean and adequately spacious.
The host can be as inconspicuous as you like, but we found much enjoyment in spending time talking with Stanislav. We even learned some new things about life while talking with this interesting host.
If you are attending a concert in the Ziggo Dome or a match at the Ajax Stadium, you cannot go wrong with this accommodation. Both locations are within a 15 minute walk of Stanislav's apartment. The apartment is also within a 10 minute walk of the Bijlmer Arena bus and train station. From here, you can reach Schiphol Airport in 10 minutes by train, and Amsterdam Central in 20 minutes. The location was perfect for our needs.
As for food - The apartment is well equipped for cooking if you wish. It is also located close to some great local food options. 'World of Food' is within a 10 minute walk. Stanislav was able to point out the route for us from one of his balconies. Bijlmer centre, strip and mall are less than 10 minutes away, also with many food options.
Thanks once again to Stanislav for contributing to our holiday enjoyment and convenience. I do not have one negative thing to say about this booking, and I look forward to returning in the future.
