I am staying more than 200 nights per year out of my home, which makes me maybe a bit more critical than some other people. And, sindce Ivan and his wife rent out their places as professionals I/we expect the same standards as I would expect from any hotel, especially since the prices or this flat are also quiet high.

Ivan and his wife were friendly upon our arrival, therefore nothing to complain. And, that the steirs are extremly steep to reach the flat isnot their failure, but typically for Amsterdam. Also the surroundings of the flat and the location fitted our need very well.

On the first view the masterbedroom is very nice and big, and also the second bedroom on top is fine. But, fore sure this is not a flat for 6 adults, because the quality and the space in the connecting room is inaccepptable. The whole interior provides is lower IKEA standard, just installed to people, who stay only a few days. The whole craftsmanship of the items/cabinets installed is of poor quality and should be enhanced a lot

All this points would not have led us down, if the flat would have been clean and neat. But, we found so many unpleasent details, which in a hotel would have let me leave the building immedeately.

We found dirty cutlery, broken cabinets, a bedcover with huge dirt stains, a freezer part totally frozen, dust, broken hangers, a unsuitable showerhead et. al..., which for me/us is just not acceptable and understandable at all!

It is a different story if somebody lives in an flat, and just rents out a room, as the original idea of airbnb was. But, if you earn you living from it, than you should also lift up your standards as you can expect in a professional business.

I have rented similar places from professional providers in other cities, and until know we had allways very pleasant experiences. And, I trust Ivan and his wife can also provid the same, if they are really up to it.

Sorry, but personally, after our experiences, I would not recommend this place to our friends, even we enjoyed our time in Amsterdam very much.
