Steven is a very helpful and friendly host. The communication with him was fast and easy.
The check-in and check-out procedures were very easy and informal as well.
The flat (two rooms) is comfortable, spacious and bright. The position is excellent: the apartment is located in a semi-central, quiet and very peaceful residential area, not far from the Westpark. The bus stop is pretty close (2-3 minutes walking): the bus 18 takes you to the central station in a few minutes (it passes every ten minutes). There is also a tram stop at a short distance with direct connections to Museumplein. A small supermarket and a bakery are situated one block away. In the same area there are also a few nice restaurants.
Some information that could be important:
- to access the flat there are three short, very narrow flights of stairs (but I think this is typical for old apartment buildings in Amsterdam)
- the bathroom is a bit "unusual" (especially for Italian guests): the bathroom and the toilet are separated and the toilet room is very very small (a tall person can struggle to close the door). But I think this is also typical in Amsterdam flats…
- The host specifies it in the description of the services, but I missed it (my fault!): no hairdryer is provided.
Maybe the cleanliness of the apartment could be improved, but the value for money is very good: you can feel at home, far from the tourist areas but near to the city centre, and your stay in Amsterdam will be comfortable without spending a fortune.
