I'd stayed at airbnb's before, but this experience was outstanding. Usually the host says 'here's your key, here's your room, have a good stay'. And then you're on your own. Which can be just fine. But Kris is different - he wants you to ENJOY Amsterdam. He made my trip special, with great tips, information on museums and sights that are off the usual tourist route and with a personal touch. We went bicycle riding throughout Amsterdam together, he had cake and wine waiting for me on my birthday. He taught me a lot about the architecture in Amsterdam, the history of Amsterdam.... His place is central and every place is accessible by foot or bike. If you had told me ahead of time that my host would actually be interested in communicating with me, I may have deferred because I'm a very private person. But this was amazing - Kris is incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent and interested in sharing discussions. I loved my stay.
