My first experience with airbnb was excellent, and this one was no different. My request to stay in the charming studio was answered promptly by Martin. We met at the apartment at the agreed upon time, and I was shown the studio. A hint of caution to those with mobility issues, the studio/terrace is up three flights of stairs (45 steps), plus another 15 to the bedroom, toilet, and shower.
The room was quaint, furnished with a couch, two small tables, two small stools, and a kitchen insert (small fridge, sink with hot/cold water, microwave). Available to use are drinking glasses, wine glasses, silverware, water cooker, french coffee press, etc...
Using a step stool, and opening the double doors, one can walk onto the terrace. It is furnished with a table and four chairs, and a chaise set up. The view is westerly into a courtyard where a church is located. It is now privately owned and is used as a private residence. Back inside the studio, one will have to walk up 15 steps to the bedroom and bathroom. Although alone, the bed will sleep two quite comfortably. The bathroom consists of a toilet, small sink, and a shower stall. Across from the bathroom are shelves to store clothing.
Location - a mere 2-3 minute walk to Surinameplein for tram or bus. Less than five minutes to Vondlepark, less than 10 to Rembrandtpark.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Martin for his warm hospitality. Although I am a frequent visitor, if I had any inquiries I feel confident that he would be able to assist regardless the issue.
I highly recommend staying at this wonderful studio.
Thanks Martin.
