Eduard's home in the elegant 9 Streets district of Amsterdam was my first experience of staying at an Airbnb property anywhere, and it will be a very hard act to follow ! Eduard made me feel very welcome and offered me a glass of wine on arrival. He uses the upper floor of the immaculate, spacious flat, leaving me to often have the run of the large, well-equipped kitchen too. As a single female traveller, I do not like eating out alone for dinner, so Eduard was quite happy for me to prepare my own meals of an evening, having already shown me the two local supermarkets. The bedroom is huge and the mattresses are firm and comfortable. I was far better off at Eduard's than I would have been at a bog-standard hotel. Eduard also offered a wealth of useful tourist information and he also has an in-depth knowledge of the history, culture, art and architecture of Amsterdam. The flat is situated in a lovely part of Amsterdam, on Herengracht in the 9 Streets area. Cafes and fascinating shops are everywhere and yet there is never the crush of people you would see around Dam Square and the Red Light district. For me, the stay at Eduard's was a five star experience at a fraction of the cost. I would happily book again in the future and would recommend Eduard as a charming, knowledgeable and welcoming host who will make you feel at home. A+, 100%, 10 out of 10 is my score.
