Rosie and her family were very friendly and helpful. On my first day, she helped me with the luggage and they helped me to find out about the train service to efteling for the next day. The room is clean and spacious; the wifi connection is good; the place is near the tram stop, amsterdam zuid station and the museums. In fact, during my stay, i was walking most of the times.

Every morning, i looked forward to seeing the sunlight shining onto the corridor and lighting up the bathroom. The shared bathroom is quite clean and pretty. When i didn't have to catch an early train, i had the chance to enjoy the breakfast and interact with her and other guests. I like to try mixing the different sauces onto the pancake and toast. She had been quite busy but took efforts to interact when she could. On my last day, we chatted about my trip and other matters. She spoke some encouraging words to me.

The cons will be sharing bathroom and the lack of soundproof-ness. However, as long as everyone is considerate, they should not be much of an issue and rosie reminded the guests on the first day to be considerate to other guests. In fact, i did not even have to coordinate the timing for the use of bathroom and i had a great time chatting with the other guests during my stay.

The experience has been wonderful and i would recommend staying at rosie's place if you are visiting amsterdam.
