PLEASE READ;
PROS; Vivian was absolutely lovely and gave us a warm welcome. The flat had a great location (12 minute walk to Amsterdam Zuid) only about 20 minutes or less from central. Vivian and her husband were very respectful of privacy and the room was super clean.
CONS; One night the internet didn't work so my boyfriend politely messaged Vivian and asked whether he could turn the internet on and off so that it would work again. The next day Vivian's husband knocked on our door and confronted my boyfriend and made a comment about how when the internet cuts he wouldn't call up the internet company in the middle of the night, we found this a bit passive aggressive because my boyfriend didn't call Vivian or bother her he sent her a single polite text. Additionally we both feel like it should have been clearer on the Airbnb description that we'd be sharing the apartment with Vivian / her husband, even though they were respectful of privacy I would have preferred for it to be more clear that we wouldn't be alone and have the place to ourselves. On top of this Vivians husband said at the beginning of our stay he'd kindly make us breakfast everyday which we appreciated, on the first day he layed out bread onto plates, a packet of cheese, jam, tea, sugar and milk. On the second day he didn't bother taking the bread out of the packet, and didn't lay half of what was there on the first day. On the third morning he just completely skipped preparing breakfast. This is no big deal but I just feel Vivians husband was an unfriendly host.
