Be very careful about this Airbnb. After driving to this location, we choose not to go inside. We lost our entire payment as cancellations are not allowed on the day of check-in. But we preferred to lose over $250 than to have our Amsterdam experience marred by staying in this undesirable location.
To get to this property, you’ll have to drive through a remote, wooded, single lane road lined with “shanty-town” like structures. The area between Amsterdam and this Airbnb looked like a homeless encampment. There are old boatyards in the area. We did not want to have to drive through this scary, unsightly area every time we went sightseeing in Amsterdam.
The Airbnb home itself didn’t look like the run down homes leading up to it. But there were several cars parked on the property and a large dog was roaming around. We did not feel comfortable getting out of the car. I am accustomed to staying in the urban parts of large cities like DC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco and NY. It’s not that I expected a luxurious stay with this Airbnb. But I wanted to feel comfortable going back and forth to central Amsterdam.
