Spacious and comfortable apartment in the trendy Jordaan area, right by the canal. The local caretaker was responsive and caring before and during our entire stay, including booking a taxi for us for a 5:00am pickup! The unusual layout of the second bedroom (right at the entrance to the apartment) did not bother us - it had sufficient privacy. However, the upfront AirBnb listing by Tess-BELVILLA wasn’t entirely candid. There were three surprises in an email we received after we made the non-cancellable booking: 1) a security deposit of 50 euros was required in cash, and that we had to give our bank details to the local caretaker. I prefer to transact all money matters on the AirBnb platform. 2) the heating in the apartment will be limited to 20°C because of high energy costs; when we checked-in, the caretaker told us the heating is programmed to 20° during the day and evening, and 15° during the night. 3) A request to check in between 16:00 and 17:00 to suit the caretaker’s hours.
