We were a group of 3 people staying in Medinalaan in July 2018, 1-st floor, room at the right side of the bathroom, 6 nights long. Generally, Michael’s place seems very good, but would benefit from a few improvements.
1. My suggestions for improvements
a. In our room there was no furniture to put clothes etc. on. We had to keep almost everything in our suitcases/backpacks. There were a few little shelves above the fridge but they were occupied by the microwave, plates, spoons etc. A wardrobe or some additional shelves would be VERY useful (although the room is not very spacious).
b. The small desk at the window was not really suitable for meals – it was obviously designed for working on a PC, and this for one person only. A simple, traditional table accessible at every side would be far better!
c. The cloth-hook (the only one...) in the wall was half torn-out, and the shade of the ceiling lamp was broken. I think these small defects can be easily fixed!
d. After returning from Amsterdam I realized that the offer says a breakfast is included. Well, in fact, there was NO breakfast, just instant coffee in the room. We didn’t mind at all, because we preferred our own food, but why put this misinformation in the offer? Delete it!

2. ADVANTAGES
a. The public transport to the centre of Amsterdam (tram 26) is really frequent and quick.
b. The surroundings were really quiet. Very suitable for having a rest after visiting the noisy city centre and for a short walk in the morning. The water nearby makes it feel somewhat like a natural lake side.
c. It was quiet in the house as well. There are little children in Michael’s family, which of course could be heard now and then (just like children are) but they were of no disturbance for us. Really, really, very quiet as for young people! In the night, there was a distant humming of cars from the motorway, but not loud. The sleeping was perfect for me.
d. The bathroom was big, clean, nice and well equipped.
e. The beds were very comfortable.
f. A fridge, an electrical kettle, forks, spoons, glasses and plates in the room – useful things!
g. Michael and Faith were helpful, whenever we needed.
