My husband and I were traveling to Amsterdam for the first time and this was our first time using Airbnb, so we weren't sure what to expect. Not only was Karin a lovely host who gave us tips on where to go, her place was a wonderful home base for our stay. It's located within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go and there are plenty of places to eat (including a grocery store) just down the street. We also loved all the historical info on the house. Because it is so central, it can be a little noisy at night (and car lights tend to shine through the blinds onto the bed), but bring some earplugs and an eye mask if you're a light sleeper and you'll be fine.
