Barbara's place is exactly as pictured. It was clean, spacious and the setup/decor made her home feel welcoming and comfortable. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us that were staying there. We especially loved her kitchen/living room area and washing machines (super easy to use). Barbara's place is of great value considering the space. Though not in Amsterdam Centraal, the tram was less than a 5 min walk from her place and you could get to the city center in about 15 mins. There are tons of shops & restaurants in the neighborhood to help you get everything you need to settle in. The only mishap was, we had agreed on a set time to arrive at Barbara's place (which was advised by Barbara after factoring in leaving the airport and traffic to her place). When we arrived I texted Victoria, the host who would be letting us into the house. I notified her that we were still on tract to meet at the agreed time with Barbara, however Victoria told me she would not be able to meet us until 2 hours after what was discussed with Barbara. I explained that the set time was based on our arrival at the airport and Barbara's suggestion. However Victoria tried to tell me I needed an additional hours to get through customs at the airport and that was the normal amount of time she needed to get through the airport and could not meet us any earlier because it would take her 2 hours to arrive at Barbara's place. We ended up waiting at the airport another 1 hour plus until we could meet Victoria. After a full day of traveling, it was a little frustrating considering the set time to meet was suggested by Barbara, so not sure where the miscommunication was with Victoria. Outside of this minor mishap, the rest of the check-in was smooth and we were able to fully enjoy our stay at Barbara's place. Would definitely stay here again.
