This was one of my absolute favorite Airbnb experiences (I’m nearing 100). Guido, Elizabeth, the location and the loft combine to make this an unbelievable stay. Do take heed of the mention of stairs, if that’s important to you.
LOCATION: The loft overlooks a lovely, quiet but friendly street in a vibrant neighborhood (my favorite- the Jordaan). Tram stop, grocery, shops, restaurants and pubs are within a minute’s stroll.
LOFT: A bright, clean, comfortable, thoughtfully decorated and appointed space that felt like home-only better! Elizabeth took the time to welcome us and show us around. These two hosts have thought of everything that makes a stay great: a homey and attractive space with a comfortable bed, higher quality bed and bath linens, a well equipped kitchen area (we were even surprised with assorted drinks and very tasty snacks, including excellent cheese Elizabeth got for us to enjoy), tv with streaming (and an amazingly soft blanket to use while watching!), CD player and music streaming, phone charging docks. No stone left unturned, and nothing done halfway.
HOSTS: You will not find better. Guido and Elizabeth are naturals! They’re friendly, thoughtful, organized, accessible, and helpful. Elizabeth took the time to welcome us (with a cool glass of water on a very hot day!), and after a nice conversation, showed us the loft. It’s great when a place is well appointed and hosts think of the little things, but it’s REALLY great when that comes with a feeling that they’ve looked forward to hosting you, and have put thought and care into your visit, while also making you feel that it is your home. Booking and communication was excellent, and the manual for the loft, along with Guido’s suggestions for places to go for food/drinks were spot-on! Know that you’re in good hands with Guido and Elizabeth.
My husband and I were sad to leave, but are already looking forward to our next visit!
