I booked my stay at Ufuk's place but was mainly in contact with Kenan (both were lovely hosts). The room was cozy and comfortable and the apartment was very, very clean --- spotless even. Kenan was super helpful and accommodating. I loved the personalized sign and stroopwafels provided. The neighborhood is safe and a great fit if you're looking for a quieter location in Amsterdam (being beside the amazing Erasmus park is amazing). Downtown is reachable by foot in about 45 but there are many options available by transit. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to others.
