Matthijs’s place was our first airbnb experience, and it was way above our expectations! first is the LOCATION, a quiet alley next to Dam square, close to almost every point.
The room is not too big, but a couple doesn't need more. the room just got renovated, so everything new and stylish. bcuz i booked the room before the renovation, Matthijs sent me a message with pics and an option to cancel for free if i want.
but i think that Matthijs’s hospitality is the real surprise, he is so welcoming and willing to help, you can feel he really cares about his place and his guests. from the private message on the door, to his great tips and links, to the saying hello and how was your day question on a daily basis. helping us to carry our luggage on the steep stairs well :)
unfortunately, the breakfast place was close(due to a funeral), but Matthijs served us every morning with a rich and tasty breakfast that he made. so much appreciated by us(even on our early check out, 4:00 am, he prepared us a bag with cookies and smoothies for the road).
we will surely stay there again on our next trip. for me, this is AirBnb at its best :)
