My girlfriend and I just spent a 4-day weekend in Amsterdam staying at Carolien's place and we had an amazing time. Once we'd made it up the typically Dutch townhouse steep and narrow staircase, we were rewarded with a panoramic view over one of the many picturesque canals. The light and spacious living room is open plan to the kitchen and bedroom, but can be sectioned off with sliding doors if required. The Metro is a 5 minute walk away and only 2 - 4 stops from the east side of the city centre, so we were able to get into the heart of Dam within no time at all... and on the night it rained the Uber only cost 9 Euros (one way) to the Jordaan district. The Wibautstraat neighbourhood is quiet residential, so we had no problem with noise after hours plus there's a supermarket and a number of really cool restaurants within a few minutes walk if you prefer to stay local rather than heading back into town for eats. I'd strongly recommend Benji's for breakfast / brunch / lunch and Girassol for supper. Both have superb food and really friendly service. And for those looking for a weekend just kicking back on a sofa vs taking in the sights, Carolien is well set up for it with a modest library of interesting books, plus an Apple TV if "Netflix and chill" are your thing.
All in all a top experience made memorable by an excellent AirBnB hostess and her stunning apartment.
