We stayed at Amar’s place for 4 nights while on a first time trip to Amsterdam. Communications were super quick and easy. Amar was able to offer us a slightly early check in, which was great because we were debating whether we should leave our luggage at the lockers in Centraal station until check in time. The location is great for getting around the city. We walked most of time, except when it rained and took Ubers then. Amar welcomed us in for the check in and even helped with the bags, which was very sweet of him. The place is right off a busy street, and it was charming to see the local Amsterdam folks going about their day. We didn’t have any trouble with noise whatsoever, and fell asleep without any trouble. The room is large and airy with good deal of sunlight streaming in until later in the evenings. The bathroom is kind of small however, and if you are 6ft and taller, or generally tall and broad you might struggle with the shower a little. Like everyone else mentioned here, be prepared to walk up three floors of winding staircase (like everywhere else in Europe). DO check out the Bloem Cafe nearby for unparalleled vegan food (even if your aren’t one)!
