My boyfriend and I are from Spain and we spent four nights in Amsterdam. I would definitely recommend you staying at this Airbnb. Matthijs is a wonderful, friendly host who will make you feel like you're at home from the very beginning. When we arrived, he helped us with baggage (luckily, steps are really narrow and steep!) and introduced us to our room. Although it was a late arrival (around 9pm), he didn't mind taking his time to explain everything to us and giving us all kinds of recommendations about where to go or what to do in Amsterdam. There's a book/guide in the room elaborated by himself with all these suggestions too. The room itself was small but it's something you would expect if you go to Amsterdam, since everything in Amsterdam is small. It's actually really modern and well-kept; the only thing that needs a slight improvement is the cleaning. Bedsheets are changed and towels washed (even a face towel I brought for myself was washed, without me asking), bathroom was also cleaned; however, the floor and the furniture weren't, so they ended up quite dirty and a bit dusty. Moreover, if I had to split hairs (because our stay was perfect), the book of recommendations also needs some updating, because one of the places we wanted to book for dinner had permanently closed. However, that wasn't a problem at all, since we texted Matthijs and he immediately provided us with other alternatives and showed he was very attentive and caring. Lastly, I cannot stress enough how delicious and filling the continental breakfast was!! The café is 2 minutes away on foot, the place is charming and cosy and staff are really friendly. Breakfast included 2 drinks (a coffee and a juice), savoury food (it was normally a multiseeds bread with tomato, lettuce, cucumber, turkey and cheese) and sweet food (croissant or scones with butter and jam). You can also ask for a breakfast take away if you have an early flight on the day you leave, like we had. Something which we really valued is that everything was fresh and homemade, you could tell.
All things considered, we're really happy with our experience and we really appreciate the exceptional treatment that we were given by Matthijs.
