The apartment is fine and the location is superb, close to everything you could want in Amsterdam. Unfortunately we were not able to fully enjoy that due to many problems, beginning with checkin. I had been in communication with Kate who said she would be there to let us in at 7. We arrived and rang and rang with no answer. Finally a kind neighbor let us in and even helped us with our bags and let us hang out in his apartment until someone (an employee of Kate's) finally came to let us in. He apologized for being late and said they had over 20 properties in Amsterdam they rented on Airbnb and so he'd been very busy...
Anyway, long story short---the bathroom smelled moldy and soon after the shower broke. It was very difficult to reach Kate to have these things fixed and we ended up not being able to shower at all for over half our trip. Finally, I told Kate I either wanted my money back or to move rooms (this was the last night of our trip) and she allowed us to move across the hall. Although the apartment was nice and once we were able to get in touch with her Kate was too, I can't give higher stars because the communication was so terrible and having no working shower for most of your vacation really puts a strain on things.
