Given the prices of private AirBnbs and hotels in Amsterdam, this was our first time trying the option of a room in someone's home. Although apprehensive before our arrival, it was ultimately a great set-up! This space is private, and safe- it is the full top floor of the home, and the space has its own set of keys/ is locked. We truly felt as though we were in a hotel room! For the price and comfort, we could not have asked for a better location - extremely convenient/ walkable to all of the sites, yet quaint and out of the way off all tourists. Many cafes and bars could be reached in less than 5 minutes by foot. The space itself was clean and spacious - no frills, but comfortable (most comfortable bed we slept in during this Europe trip!), and just enough character to feel special. One note- as a typical Dutch home, there are narrow stairways, and to get to the room you walk up 3 (narrow, yet manageable) flights of steps. We were totally fine with this, though some some may have a bit of difficulty trekking up with luggage. Finally, Noud was very prompt and courteous in his communications both before and during our stay. We felt as though he was reliable, and should we need help, would be available to us. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this host, and stay in this AirBbnb again.
