Communication was good from sending messages via Airbnb. Arrive in good time for Coco to tell me about the room I would stay in . Entering his flat was not a great experience as three flights off narrow hazard stairs with smell of a musty due to condensation. Room was basic with zero view of any tranquility as facing other flats . The balcony was facing other flats directly as you look down it looks like a forecourt for people to hang their washing out . Room was next to other guest room where it can be a bit noisy. Would have been a good idea to have locks on doors to make you safe as you never know who is a next door . Generally the area had a feeling of high levels of unemployment and advised by a passerby that it was a crime area . Sometimes photos on Airbnb are edited and give an unclear impression. Overall did enjoy my time visiting a great City like Amsterdam.
