Arne, you can tell, loves hosting. He does a great job and has great tips for Amsterdam. Only negatives were that it was on a busy street so noise could have been an issue, but we used a sound machine so it was fine. Not sparkingling clean but definitely clean enough to feel comfortable. He freely let us use his kitchen and his laundry which was wonderful. Arne answered many questions we had and was able to give suggestions that were helpful to make our stay in Amsterdam great.
