The hosts: Guus and his girlfriend are very nice. They helped us with some info about the city and allowed us to wake them up if we had trouble getting to the airport at 5am. We had a hiccup with checkin, having arrived at 12:30 check in time to find that the hosts were out of town and the room wouldn't be available until 5. This hasn't been an issue for others, but it was for us. Upon re-arrival at 5, we had to wait for our room to be cleaned (20-25 mins).

The room: smaller than seen in pictures, definitely not a master bedroom, by either european or american standards. The furniture is actually 90 degrees rotated from the pictures. Bed is comfortable, but a sheet was provided for a blanket without a comforter. TV has English channels. Water jug was not refilled.

Amenities: The toilet is separate from the shower and sink. So you have to walk over to another room to wash hands. Shower was leaky and was wetting the floor in the bathroom.

Apartment: a few complained that it was awkward not to have access to some areas of the house, and although we didnt experience the awkwardness, these areas should not be advertised. For example, the beautiful cozy balcony is accessed from the living room, so if the hosts are watching TV you have to go through the living room (which is outside boundaries) to reach it. Since the hosts were gone for the evening, we made use of the balcony, but could see a problem during the day.

Location: 15 min to all the main stuff in Amsterdam. You have an option of #3 or #4 tram, or walk over to subway to get to Central station. A bus runs really early (5am) straight to the airport which is super convenient.

Overall experience: Had an issue with signin and thought that more work could have been put in to ensure the room was ready for arrival (clean bathroom, change sheets), room was a bit less than expected, but the hosts were nice which made it a positive experience.
