We stayed at Gianni’s place for 3 nights. The good things is the toilet and the bathroom is super clean, thumbs up for that. You’re not allowed to use the kitchen, which we knew. Gianni was kind to wait for us even we arrived quite late and he offered us breakfast (it’s not allow to eat in the kitchen, you must eat in your room).
The problem with our room is that it doesn’t look like the photos he posted on airbnb. We didn’t get the real bed but two single, mental folding bed, which wasn’t really comfortable to sleep on. Beside that the room has a “view” by the small lake, which cause a lot of mosquitoes in this weather, like a lot a lot! We landed in one dilemma about should we close the door and window even it’s super hot in the room or should we let us be the meal for the mosquitoes. Even we choose to close the window, somehow the mosquitoes still attack us! After just one night, our arms and legs was covered by several big, itchy dots. It must have been such a party for the mosquitoes! When I tried to talk with Gianni about it, he simply said “they didn’t bite me”, which doesn’t help much.
I can also see that the other rooms is much better, they also have REAL beds and not these folding bed. Sad, because we pay the same price.
I guess if we stayed at the other room we wouldn’t have much problems with the mosquitoes. I never forget the night where I have to cover myself in thick blanket even I was sweating just for not getting more bites from mosquitoes. Even Amsterdam was amazing, this experience ruins the fun for us a little.
We will probably find another place to stay next time we’re at Amsterdam. But if you’re considering Gianni’s place, maybe make sure you choose the right room 🙂
