Good value, easy to get around, good communication with the host. Not the most central area where you have restaurants / cafes lined outside the door but in a family-oriented residential neighbourhood. Room was smaller than expected (but that's europe!) and there's a large concrete wall the window looks out to on the canal; however overall still good value for your money in Amsterdam. Save your money on overpriced hotels, stay here and use that money for good food + shopping instead!
