All communications prior to my arrival were clear, helpful and timely. That really helped me plan my trip and feel confident about my stay.

On arrival I was very warmly greeted and straight away we had a pleasant "get to know each other " chat in Rob & Fang's private living area.

The room and its facilities were exactly as advertised and fully met all my requirements for a comfortable stay. It was particularly helpful to be able to come and go as I wanted.

Then there was a lot more added value on top of that: Rob and Fang gave advice (based on my tastes and requirements) about where to go and how to enjoy my stay more. We also had several pleasant chats about all sorts of things.

By the way, the location of Amstel Nest is superb: just 50m or so from the Amstel river - which is a very pleasant place to be and around 5 minutes walk from the nearest Metro station, which itself is just 10 minutes metro ride from Central Station. The immediate surroundings included several pleasant and interesting restaurants.

All in all my first ever airbnb experience was very positive and I shall certainly use airbnb again when circumstances allow.
