Arjan is an amazing host, he is very kind and knowledgable about the neighborhood. I decided to stay with him because I wanted a place to rest before I headed off to Paris and he was very patient with me as I navigated around Amsterdam. I loved the location because it was a local neighborhood in Amsterdam and gave a perfect representation of the average person's life in the city. Arjan was kind enough to show me around and even walked me to the market where I could buy a conversion charge for my phone. His neighborhood is close to the original home of Anne Frank and he showed me the area where she lived. His home reminded me much of a beach bungalow, with decoration and influences from his many travels abroad. And their dog is super cute - no complaints from me I was very happy with my stay! Can't wait to return!
