Our experience at De Lariessestraat 84 was a fantastic one. Upon arrival, our host Michael was very warm and inviting. Helping us with our luggage down the very steep stairs, which we found very “Amsterdam” with the steep and narrow buildings and stair cases. None the less, not a flight one would want to do with copious amounts of alcohol. As we are not drinkers in any way, this was never an issue. Michael was extremely informative and helpful throughout our time there. He included some great information on the neighborhood, how the public transportation worked and helped us get our “I Amsterdam” cards which are a must if you plan on really trying to see and do Amsterdam. The card gives access to a huge selection of museums and access to almost all public transport, we will talk a little more about that later, as this is a review for the room. We arrived late into the evening and just needed to unwind. Michael was brief but not short with us as he went over the do’s and do nots and provided the closest markets and attractions. He was very warm and welcoming and really made you feel at home. The room provided had all the necessities and conveniences of a hotel room. Upon entering the room, you notice a nice laminate wood flooring and the room opened into a decent amount of space. Immediately to the left was a tall mirror finish closet with hangers for our clothes as well as a couple shelves below for folded clothes. Right next to that was the doorway to the shower room, yes, room. A nicely black tile dressed the entire flooring. Standing tall in the corner and in the slightly lowered shower basin stood a stainless steel, removable shower head. The shower gets hot as does the other water faucets, so be careful. Directly to the right of the shower was a wide, two-person mirror and vanity, with a medium sized sink and stainless-steel fixtures. Below the vanity were two very useful drawers as well as a hair dryer. Michael also included one power adapter, useful for westerners. You may want to consider the $15 or so for a second adapter for your cell phones and/or computers, especially if you have more than one person. Directly across the shower was the toilet room or water closet, again adorned in silver trims and black tile. There is one issue with the toilet, but we will get to that later. As you enter fully into the room there is a circle table that fully laid out would sit 4 comfortably, but it is better off with the 1/3 folded up, so the table sits snuggly against the wall. To the left, you have a small kitchenette, which contained again, stainless steel microwave, nicely tucked away into the wall, a two-burner stove and sink. Directly below the stove was a cabinet that hid a small refrigerator, think dorm fridge. We found the fridge...
