Staying with Vera was great! She was very friendly and helpful. I arrived in Amsterdam around 10am, and even though check in was not until 1pm, she allowed my friend and I to drop off our bags at her apartment so we didn't have to carry them around with us while we waited to check in. Also, when we asked her about finding some place to print a few documents that we needed, she offered to print them for us! The space itself was comfortable and well-equipped, including a book of suggestions for Amsterdam. Even though this is listed as a private room rather than whole apartment, it really feels like you have your own apartment because the room has a door to access it directly from outside. It does not include a full kitchen but does have a mini fridge, water heater, toaster, and coffee maker, and a few dishes so you really can have a few meals in as long as you don't need an oven or stove. Overall, it was a great experience!
