Thomas went far out of his way to insure we had a good stay. Out of all of our Airbnb experiences he was the best host. He met us with some food - and we woke one morning to find a plate full of croissants, grapes and muffins.
There was also wine and a well stocked fridge for us!
He checked on us often even though for some reason our SIM cards weren't playing nice.
The space itself is very cozy, not the best value we've found for Amsterdam, but in a quiet area near everything, and with a private large balcony that would be excellent in summer. Nice ambiance and comfy bed. The refrigerator is a bit bigger than expected - good for shopping and there's a microwave for leftovers.
This is not facing a canal, but on the backside of the building.
Only thing we'd like to see improved is the bathroom (in the hall) needs some ventilation.
The host is what makes this space special, more than the actual apartment. Great place to stay.
