One of the advantages of Airbnb over hotels is that hotels are typically "sterile" - it is usually the same - wherever you go to a hotel, you are always getting the uniform experience. Hotels are like the fast food of accomodation. If one wants the true immersing experience, to live like the local people live, one must go to places like Har's studio in Amsterdam.
This is an authentic Amsterdam experience. It is a lovely historical home, meticulously clean, decorated with an artistic touch, just 50 m away from the public transport and in the walking distance from the Rijksmuseum. The host is very helpful, intelligent and funny. My wife and I have had a great time staying there and would definitely come again, since there is so much to see in Amsterdam.
