Karins place is the perfect spot If you want to be close to the centrum. My partner and I walked everywhere because everything was pretty close. If you don’t plan on staying in all day then this is all you need to really enjoy Amsterdam. Karin is a great host, the room was like your basic studio. The only thing I disliked about Karins place was the window coverings. I do believe they should be updated with curtains or something similar mainly because the blinds were missing pieces. It can be a bit noisy at night from all the foot traffic, we did not mind but if you want your peace I suggest finding a quieter place. Overall this was a great simple studio to spend our trip in Amsterdam.
