The good stuff: This is a great location, close to everything. It’s right in the middle of all of the shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and coffee shops. Very close to the Jordaan neighborhood. The space is above a little shop in one of the old houses. It’s equipped with all the necessities and more toiletry items than most air bnbs. The mattress was comfortable. The host that met us was very nice and helped with luggage.
Things to consider: Be sure you get the exact address from the host prior to arrival, as it is not on the app. You’ll get to the block it’s on, but we thought the zip code was the street address and went in the wrong store, where someone else happened to have the same name as this host. The stairs are very windy and very narrow up to the unit. I have a very large soft sided suitcase and we were able to get mine up, however I’d be worried if you have a large hard suitcase. The unit also doesn’t have a real door, which is a bit concerning. It’s like a folding wicker type door. It appears the host lives in the unit below, and there are no others, but I’d prefer an actual door. Lastly, the sheets on the bed were very pilly. I ended up sleeping on the comforter because of this. This should be an easy enough fix for the host tho.
