The room is clean, no frills. Good storage - drawers under the bed and a large wardrobe. The weather was very cold outside when we stayed but we were perfectly warm (there is a radiator in the room). Bedding was clean and bed was comfortable. Pillows might be a little flat/thin for some but extra cushions were provided. The only problem we had initially was a strong smell of body spray/ air freshener. However, this dissipated with the window open for a few hours. One large towel and one small was provided - my boyfriend and I shared, but this might be an issue for some - I suppose you could bring your own or ask for more (we didn’t really mind).
The shower facilities are good. Hot water and strong water pressure. It is a wet room so you you have to be wary of splashing appliances (eg washing machine). As the listing says, it is a shared bathroom so you might have to wait for other members of the family - but this wasn’t a problem for us.
The neighbourhood is quiet and residential. There are lots of takeaway places nearby. If you want to eat in and have a nice drink we would highly recommend ‘Jacob’s Kitchen’ about 12 mins walk away. Great food, atmosphere, and customer service. The metro is just down the road and trains run frequently (about every 10 mins).
The Singh family are good hosts. Quiet but friendly. They kindly allowed us to extend our stay at short notice and let us keep our bags in the room after check out time so we could pick them up on the way to the airport.
The main appeal of this room was affordability and excellent transport links to Amsterdam central.
