Erik is a great host. He promptly answered all my queries - even those not related to property like the help we needed in Amsterdam for sightseeing or for our onward journey to Switzerland. They don't live in the same property but nearby.
He shows a genuine interest to help his hosts. Room is on first floor and stairs are steep with small steps (which seems to be the norm in homes near Amsterdam Centraal). He was kind enough to lend help in lifting my heavy luggage.
Location is very walkable to all the tourist spots in Amsterdam centre. The street was lively even in night. We didn't have to take day tickets. One-way metro tickets from airport and one tram ticket to Heineken/Rijkmuseum is all we needed to buy in local. Bus for Zaanse Schans also runs from Centraal.
Immaculate room & all facilities in the room were as described. We chose the room on backside. It has a balcony & privacy. Silent at night. Our first AirBnB was memorable.
