First I will say that the room was very clean and it was in a beautiful setting 3 minutes walk to Anne Frank House.
Now for the real story...
Lars seemed friendly and communicated well with us by text...but we never met him. We dealt with his neighbor/partner, Marcel. Marcel was as rude a person as I've ever met. There are several rooms in this building and Marcel gave us completely incorrect instructions to our room inside the building and then made us feel stupid for his mistake! Then when we came back later, we had a terrible time opening the outside door. It was our silly mistake. We simply turned the key left (like most locks in the U.S.) and it opens to the right. We finally figured it out and Marcel comes down the stairs and said " Is the lock broken or just your brain?" We couldn't believe he was speaking to us that way! Then we looked back at the door incredulously and he said "Staring at it won't make it work better!" We were both dumbfounded!
One more thing... The room is a block from Westerkerk Church. The bells ring every 15 minutes all night long! We didn't sleep a wink all night!
