Hans is a friendly host who made an effort to make us feel welcome. We were greeted on arrival and he leant us bikes for the duration of our stay. He gave us suggestions on things to do locally and offered us a bike tour. The room was big with a nice view.
We try to not be critical in reviews, but we should note that despite all the good reviews the space was not as we expected with regards to cleanliness- the bedroom floors had debris and dust on them, there was dirt in the bed sheets and the bed only had around a thin mattress which frequently slid off the base. The bedroom walls are fairly thin so you can hear the other guests chatting which is no fault of Hans but worth noting.
The bathroom was shared with other guests and was not clean on arrival, and even after it was ‘cleaned’, the sink, toilet and shower were still grimey. The shower mat did not seem to have been washed and the room was cluttered with old toiletries - presumably from previous guests which had not been removed.
The kitchen space is also shared.
We had a nice time exploring Amsterdam, however we have stayed in air bnbs which were better value for money. We like clean environments to relax in and unfortunately it was not what we found.
