Stefania was a great host even though she was away on holiday. She made sure Tim, Banana and others assisted us during our stay while she was away in Thailand. She was fantastic in letting us check in early, and checking out an entire day early. We loved Banana by the way, it was a privilege to have met you! You made our stay extra enjoyable!

It bothered me that Stefania did NOT emphasize in the listing that her friends and possibly other tenants would share the same space with us. I am making this EXTRA CLEAR for future tenants! You will not be alone! There are also two rooms available for rent, this listing is for the smaller room. Find the other listing for the Larger bed and bigger windows!

Stefania, please pay attention to the laundry. The washing machine was loaded and was not emptied our entire stay. This will cause mildew and mold to grow on the towel's/sheets your guests use to wipe themselves dry and to sleep in; two very important things for guests. We would have appreciated the availability and use of the washing machine as well. I dislike wiping my face and smelling mildew after taking a hot shower, which is what we had to endure this entire trip. Flies, mosquito's and other bugs flew in at any hour throughout the day if the windows were open. If they were closed, it would have been unbearably hot this time of year(July). Please think about investing in screens so your guests don't have to worry about these pests.

The bikes were a blast to have around. Granted they were a bit seasoned in terms of shape, they worked just fine. BedandBike was nicely tucked away, with easy access to Vondel Park, the park running perpendicular to it, the city center and anywhere you would like to explore. It is about a 15 - 30 minute bike ride to the canal system. Quiet, safe and local feeling neighborhood.
