The host's description of the room is accurate. The room looks new and recently renovated. By American standards, the room and private bathroom might seem small but 2 people can easily handle this for a couple of nights. The location is in central Amsterdam about a 10 minute walk from the train station. The back room was quiet at night. There are big windows letting in lots of natural light although the view is the back of another building. Complimentary breakfast voucher to a nearby bakery was nice. We stayed in early August and slept with the windows open--no bugs and we felt comfortable. The host likes to meet his guests at check-in so be sure to recontact the host a few days before arrival to reconfirm the time you expect to meet him to either check-in or drop bags. The host quickly responded to all messages. If I was staying in Amsterdam again, I would try to stay there again.
