We were hoping to have a great stay in Amsterdam but unfortunately a few issues with the listing that needed to be better disclosed interfered with that. 27 days after making the reservation the host mentioned that there were two house cats, but my several messages attempting to clarify the specifics of where the cats would be in the house were not answered until the day before the arrival. To make everything crystal clear, there are two cats that live in the house who come and go outside as needed. Because there are cat doors on opposite doors of the third bedroom there is no way to isolate from the cats if wished. The super social one is ever so cute, but he is so eager to love on you that when we closed the door to the master bedroom the cat banged and cried, making taking a nap without my allergies going into full overdrive impossible. This is a family house that is rented when the owners are out of town so expect all of their personal effects to still be present in the closets and shelves. The listing stated that there was AC, but there was none and it was warm at the time of our visit. Finally, they expect you to feed their cats on a specific schedule while staying in their house. The location is central to everything and the view of the canal is charming. But for $700 a night, we had certain expectations and opted to leave after a couple of hours without having a chance to test out the boat which looked like a lot of fun. Huub and airbnb were very accommodating but we wish we had never had to be in a situation to change our accommodations.
