I believe deep down Flavio is a nice guy and that was the reason I chose to stay with him. However, he made my friend and I feel very uncomfortable during my stay there. I traveled from the states and it was my first time in Amsterdam and to be treated uncomfortably during my stay didn't feel nice. The first issue that started was how noisy Flavio was while I was sleeping the first night. I believe he was either on the phone or speaking with other guests but he projects his voice so loud that it sounds like he's standing right in front of me. The second issue I had was after asking if I could wash my clothes. I tried to add an article of clothing in however European washers are a bit different and he stormed in the restroom and accused me of playing with it and stated that I will break his machines. I apologized to him twice and each time he stormed off and refused to have a conversation with me and for the remainder of my stay he gave me weird looks and gave me an unpleasant stay. A host of an apartment should be able to properly address guests rather than make them feel uncomfortable. I hope Flavio takes this note and if there's an issue in the future he wouldn't get emotional and make paying guests feel uncomfortable. I would only recommend Flavio's place if there are almost no options left. In that case either go with him or a hostel.
