To say that Andrea is a Superhost would be an understatement. Andrea was able to give advice on many things throughout the duration of my stay in Amsterdam. Her place is just over ten minutes by bus (which stops directly across the street) from center city, so the difference in price as compared to the hostels downtown makes it an affordable choice. Upon arrival, a small bag of stroopwafels greeted me on my bed's pillow and when it was raining, she even had a poncho ready for me for the rain--just several examples of many unexpected treats! Andrea is an artistically-inclined person: it shows throughout the house as her own artistic pieces form a sort of Dutch art museum! She is knowledgeable about both North American and European cultures, so she's able to perfectly understand native-speaker English, which is important when communicating via telephone, for example. She also knows Airbnb's policies very well and demonstrates a deep experience in the hosting experience for her guests. I would love to return to her place should I happen to come back to Amsterdam.
