We are a family of 4 adults (2 parents, 2 adult daughters) from Los Angeles, traveling through Europe for 8 months since May. This is our 22nd Airbnb stay during this time.
COMMUNICATION: Excellent. From the first communication to the last, Yeter was quick to respond, easy to understand, and very friendly. She gave clear instructions and had some nice recommendations to make our stay more enjoyable.
APARTMENT: The unit is the 2nd floor (or 3rd for us from the US) of what appears to be their home building. The owner is on the first floor, and I think one of their children live on the floor above (mostly quiet but on the weekend it did seem the top floor had a party and they went down the stairs a few times that woke us up). The apartment itself is small and quaint. The larger bedroom is big enough to have a bed and a closet, the smaller bedroom is literally only the bed from wall to wall (no storage at all). Living room and kitchen are large enough for us and was comfortable. The bathroom is rather small and cramped but we made it work. There is an issue with venting in the bathroom and I've communicated it to the owner, so hopefully something can be done. The main entry to the building in directly on the alleyway/street. However, the door to the unit is up the stairway from the locked street door, and has a small (about 1") jewelry box type lock. And you can only lock it from outside, meaning that at night you are unable to lock the door. The owner said that it was a regulation issue with the city code, however I think it's important to let people know since it was rather awkward for us and made for a few light sleeping nights. I had to put our luggage in front of the door to make the ladies feel a bit more comfortable.
LOCATION: Amsterdam is amazing! The location of the unit is really good. The transportation system is fantastic and you are a block or two away from getting onto a tram and getting to basically any part of the city. The unit is down a side street from a canal (maybe 50 meters). And there are plenty of restaurants nearby to try. With the trams you are within 20 minutes of anything that you want to see and we actually walked to many places (we love walking).
All in all it was a nice experience and we enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam.
