I actually wasn't expecting a really friendly, helpful and conversational host, but that is exactly what I had. Wilbert from when I booked till the moment I got into my taxi to the airport was friendly, helpful and conversational. Very quick to respond to messages; Wilbert answered any question I had even if her couldn't full fill my request he definitely made sure he found a solution for me. He is also an intelligent man which allows for great discussions. Very pleased to have met him.

Guest room 2 was exactly as described and shown, my favourite parts; the shower, the awesome digital handle lock on the door and the microwave which is quality. The bathroom is literally next to the room so you don't have to travel far and it is very nice.

The location is PERFECT. There is a fantastic bagel cafe called Bagels & Beans just around the corner which is where I had my breakfast and along Overtoom (which is the main road just round the corner) are coffee shops, cafes, a Starbucks (if there are any lovers of it) Dominos and a really great selection of restaurants, my favourite was a burger joint just a 5 minute walk called Artisani. I really could go on.

I was extremely lucky to have been in Amsterdam during a full week of sunshine so I literally walked everywhere and it was easy. I was so close to all the main attractions and walking through the park everyday to get to them was refreshing, I could simply just lay on the grass and relax. From the park/museums it was easy walking into the city centre. I had actually walked around the city so much that when my internet cut out and I couldn't use Google maps, I found my way back very easily, thanks to a few points in the right direction all I had to do was ask which way to Overtoom.

My mistake was not renting a bike from the moment I arrived, the tram is great to go on during bad weather and for the experience (tram 1 which is located on Overtoom), but the real fun was cycling around the city and I believe there are 3 bike rental shops on Overtoom, I rented from MacBike.

So just to conclude:
- Great host who you can trust and rely on
- You are getting exactly what you see in the pictures and description
- Fantastic location with an abundance of things to do close by
