We didn't get to meet Edith but her friend met us and was very nice and helpful. Like everyone said, the stairs are a bit of a challenge sometimes! It was manageable though. The room itself was very clean. The beds were comfy. Tea and coffee was provided. The TV in the room was also a nice touch. There was plenty of storage place for our items. The bathroom was very clean and modern, despite it being in a 19th century building. Shampoo, soap, towels, and a squeegee (to clean up water) were also provided. The host also made an information binder about the house and Amsterdam. There was also a separate binder filled with maps, cool events, and travel info. Very helpful if you are unsure of what to do in Amsterdam! It was also right in the center of Amsterdam, you can walk everywhere! There was a lovely view of the canal from the window! The area was also very safe and quiet. Recommended!
