Pauline was a fantastic host. Though we never met, she was always extremely quick to reply to our queries and messages. The apartment is very spacious (more so than what you can see from the pictures) and you have a canal on your doorstep (though I guess the same is true for any central Amsterdam location). I would definitely recommend staying here as it's only a short walk into the city centre and is also a slightly quieter location come night. The airbnb is situated right next to Amsterdam's botanical garden, and is also a short walk from 'Bakers and Roasters' - a seriously amazing brunch place with fantastic coffee - and Sotto - a really great pizza place. This was my third trip to Amsterdam and was by far the nicest accommodation I'd stayed at. Deffo recommend :)
