Paul was kind enough to provide all the information about the house and locality ahead of our check-in. The message/information he sent to us was super detailed and helpful.
The one thing that we felt a little intimidated was that the door of the house opened directly to the road which meant there wasn't any additional level of security beyond the first door. You would hear people walking and talking on the street even during the nights.
We found that the house in itself is a little older compared to the photographs. The photographs as they are shot in orange lighting tend to cover up quite a bit. Having said that the house was clean and was super accessible to the nearest metro/tram station. (Just a few mins walk and Metro 52 to any major tourist spot or Centraal Station).
Tip: A general tip that I found useful and nothing to do with Paul's house do make use of Google Street View to have a look at the locality of the house.
