I didn't have a chance to actually experience this place, because the owner was still in the flat when I arrived, and not planning to leave until the next day, even though the apartment had been listed as available when I booked. It is being managed by a third party company (iambnb), who is handling the listing and client communication, and they were also confused about my arrival date, even though the booking online was clear. Thankfully, they were able to find another place at the last minute for me which was in a great part of town (de Pijp) and turned out to be just fine, but had none of the characteristics of this place, which was the reason I had booked it to begin with. That being said, the guy from iambnb who was managing my check-in was very kind and helpful and did his absolute best to remedy the situation, but it was stressful to show up on a Saturday night in Amsterdam and all of a sudden find myself essentially without a place and needing to accept whichever alternate place they could find for me at the last minute. In my view, this is not how AirBnB is supposed to work and I think if the owner is not going to be involved in managing the place, then he or she should not have a profile up but rather should allow the company to create their own profile, so it's clear to clients who you'll be dealing with and this kind of confusion can be avoided.
