Amat’s place was amazing and our favorite place that we stayed at in Europe. The architecture of the windows and the style of the apartment felt so authentically Amsterdam to me and was really magical. The location was great. We were about a 20 minute walk from Amsterdam central and the red light district. We also rented bikes at Roxy’s around the corner from the Airbnb (per Amar’s recommendation) once we were comfortable enough with the city to bike- would recommend!
Amar was responsive and spoke English (if that is a concern). He had an awesome guidebook and gave us great local recs for our first time visiting.
Only thing to be aware, as of April, 2022, there is some construction going on outside of the apartment that started rather early in the morning on the weekdays. Wasn’t a problem for us because we wanted to be up to explore anyways, but worth reaching out to Amar before booking to get an update if you’re looking for a more relaxing vacation. Also, be aware that there is a ladder to climb up to the sleeping loft, so if climbing a ladder is a physical concern, this may not be the place for you. Thank you again, Amar!
