This was our first Airbnb experience and after being hosted by Wendie and Hans, we'll probably never book a hotel again!
The room was exactly as it looks in the pictures, complete with a nicely stocked bookcase, welcome basket of delicious treats, plenty of clean towels and little, welcome extras like a plug adapter, heating controls (we were never cold even when it was freezing outside) and an extra blanket.
We also enjoyed having a little balcony (though January weather meant it wasn't used as well as we'd have liked!) and a large bathroom with a bath ideal to wallow in after a day walking around the city.
Sadly we never got to meet Wendie but as a host, Hans was lovely. We had complete privacy and our own set of keys but he made sure we knew we could approach him with any questions and he was very helpful with recommendations and directions.
He also has quite an interesting job, which left us wondering if the muffins left at our door would taste of herring rather than chocolate!
Location-wise, the property is ideally situated for exploring Amsterdam, with the front door opening practically onto Leidseplein and tram stops just feet away.
The Dutch stairs are a bit of a challenge and to be avoided by anyone with mobility issues but that really was the only slight drawback and is something that probably wouldn't be a problem for most fit people!
My partner and I had a wonderful stay and intend to be repeat customers!
