Arne was a great host! He immediately gave us a tour and made us feel welcomed. It was our first time sharing an apartment with a host, but we felt comfortable moving around the kitchen, living room, and bathroom as we pleased. His recommendations were great and we barely spent any time in the apartment. We were able to use the fridge to store left overs, which helped keep the cost of food down. We took advantage of the close access to public transport and the multiple stores right under his place.
A tip for guests: Copy all of Arne's info about how to get to his apartment into an email/notes app so you can easily access it once you have arrived in Amsterdam. Our internet connection before we arrived wasn't great so it took us a bit to find his place without the notes!
Thanks again, Arne, for sharing your home!
