We absolutely loved our home away from home while visiting Amsterdam. Arjen was very responsive before and during our stay. He met us before check-in time and allowed us to drop off our luggage, which was great because it was raining and cold and we had just spent 12+ hours traveling. He also walked us around the area and pointed out places to eat and get groceries. Then, he met us the morning we checked out and helped to bring our luggage down. He's seriously one of the best hosts we've ever had using AirBnb. The location was outstanding- a 10 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station, and walkable to many of the museums and attractions we booked. As the other reviews have said, be prepared for steep stairs- but that's true of everything in Amsterdam. There is a nightclub around the corner and the noise from people going to that can make it hard to fall/stay asleep, but I think that had as much to do with us adjusting to the time zone as anything else. Would stay there again!
