Alex is a very nice person and his communication throughout was excellent. He was very accommodating to me needing to drop my bags by before work on a Friday morning, and he also gave me a walkthrough of his place.
Alex's place was very spacious and let in a lot of natural light. Lots of windows = great! You can see the main street from the livingroom, which is cool.
His place is on the 3rd floor, no elevator, only stairs. Not easy to get up if you have a lot of luggage, since the stairwell is really narrow. See if he can help you bring it up like he did for me.
Living room is comfortable with a big couch. Kitchen has a big table with lots of chairs. Nice coffee machine for use as well with a touch panel.
Location is great---near lots of delicious restaurants and such, and even close to a grocery store. Most importantly, it's super close to Vondelpark, which makes it nice for morning walks and evening strolls.
I stayed in the 2nd bedroom while my friends stayed in the master bedroom. My bedroom was on the tight side, with not a lot of space for bags so I had to leave those in the livingroom. Master bedroom has much more space for your bags.
The only major thing that we weren't a fan of was the strong smell of mold in the toilet room and the shower room. Once he does some thorough cleaning with some bleach, I think it will be fine.
All in all, a good experience here! Thanks, Alex!
