Raymond's place is located in a very safe neighborhood. It is also located in the 9 streets known for their pubs, cafes and boutiques. The top-floor room was clean, large and airy, and is above the pub that Raymond owns. At night, you can hear the noise from the pub. Close the windows and the noise is much more subdued.
A delicious breakfast of croissants, bread, cheese, meats, juice and coffee is brought up to us every morning, which was a nice surprise!!
Like all the houses in Amsterdam, the stairs are very narrow, shallow and steep. For this reason, I would not recommend this place for the elderly or if you have a problem with climbing stairs. I counted 34 steps. Thank goodness, Raymond's son carried our luggage up and down for us.
At other airbnb's, shampoo, conditioner and body soap were provided. A suggestion for Raymond would be that they do the same. Buy extra large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body soap so that it will be unlikely that your guests will steal these. Also provide small tubes of toothpaste. But again, this is only a suggestion.
Raymond's place is also very near to Anne Frank's house (book online 4 months in advance) and a few other places of interest.
I will definitely come back here to stay at Raymond's place again.
