This is our first time visiting Amsterdam and first BnB experience.
We stayed 3 nights at Marta’s house, she is a friendly and easy going host, she shared much information with us before and during our stays which we found useful.
Since we were driving, the free parking space around the house helped us a lot. Parking charge is unexpectedly high in the city center, therefore we chose to use public transport for accessing to the center from Marta’s house. Walk to the bus stop from the house within 10 mins, and another 20 minutes bus to the city center. Marta has sent us the bus timetable beforehand so that we could catch the bus on time. And there was night bus in the midnight time as well, so you do not have to worry stay too late in the center. We participated in the annual Museum Night event which ended at 2am, we still able to get back to the house by the overnight bus(though it took us 2 hours in waiting and transit).
Thank you Marta for preparing us delicious breakfast, what’s a pity that the last morning we were leaving early for the flight and couldn’t enjoy the breakfast, Marta gave us some snacks and drinks instead so that we would not starve at the airport.
Marta’s house is big, living room and toilet are on the ground floor, bathroom and one guest room on the next floor and another guest room(which we stayed) on the top floor with a balcony connected. Since we stayed at the room upstairs, for being not to wake everybody up in the house at night, we try not to move around or took shower after 11pm. There were 2 nights we back to the house quite late, we hope we did not bring any inconvenience to Marta :P
Additional 3.5 euro tourist tax will be charged per room, per night
