I have been using Airbnb for several years now, and this is the first where a host would meet me in the beginning and the end of my stay to exchange the key. Han was very kind and let me check in a little earlier as my flight arrived noticeably earlier in the day. Check out felt a little rushed as Han's other host showed up ten minutes before check out and started bringing their stuff in, but maybe this is normal with host checkouts.
The location of the apartment is extremely close to public transportation, less than a 3 min walk, which is extremely convenient. Also, there is a supermarket about a five-minute walk away, and numerous bars/restaurants. The apartment is quite cozy, with a great bed and couch. Also, there is a spacious outdoor seating area in the back of the residence; however, I did not get to use it as it was pretty cold during my stay which was a shame as it would have been a perfect place to relax after a long day of walking around Amsterdam. With that said, one of the downfalls of the apartment is the location near a couple of bars, and when people walk by, you can hear them clearly through the front windows/door. Additionally, the upstairs neighbors can be quite loud, and when they walk down the stairs to exit the apartment is even more so, and their front door seems to always slam which echos throughout the place. To Han's credit, this is not his fault and is typical of most city apartments, but it should be something you consider if you are looking for a quiet place to relax and want to limited disturbances as much as possible.
