if you are new to Amsterdam, then I must recommend this Airbnb above all others. the assistance and insight that the host is able to provide is that of a very experienced travel guide. if you have a question on places to go or how to get there, this host will very likely be able to assist you.
I have stayed with Riza twice now, and both times he was excellent. the room is exactly as described and very clean. more important than the room, Riza is an exceptionally great host. very hospitable, and extremely helpful in all my endeavors while staying. he provides great insight into the city of Amsterdam and actively improved my stay there. better than a hotel, and very likely the best Airbnb host in the city. the location is also very good; when looking on Google maps it looks as though it may be out of the way from the center of the city and tourist attractions, but a bus station around the corner of the building will take you there very quickly. I had zero trouble finding the Airbnb or getting to centraal. as I said this was my second stay here, and I certainly don't intend for it to be the last. I would not consider any other accomodations, be it a hotel or another airbnb if Riza's Airbnb is available.
