Alles was goed geregeld , het appartement was schoon en verzorgd. Met een fijn welkoms cadeautje die op me stond te wachten was ik erg tevreden met het appartement

Good location, walking distance to most attractions, nice and roomy and the space has a nice charm to it. The host was very accommodating to our late flight and allowed us to stay in the room free of charge until we left mid afternoon which was very much appreciated.

− For some reason I thought there was air conditioning but I must’ve read it wrong. There was a fan that we utilised as it was still a little warm for our liking as we went just out of summer and when we came back from our days of exploring the room felt quite warm. The room is right in the middle of the red light district so something to be aware of for other travelers.

I was dissatisfied with this apartment. There are no windows, and it smells awfully damp. The apartment is accessed thro

The location is excellent, the apartment is nicely designed, and the host was welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately, one very important detail completely changed my overall impression of the stay: the apartment is located in a basement/semi-basement, and this was not made clear in the listing.

− The host offers two apartments. From the photos and description, however, it is very difficult to understand that they are located on completely different levels. One is upstairs, while the other is in the basement. Had I known in advance that I was booking the basement apartment, I would have chosen different accommodation. For me, this was especially disappointing because I came to Amsterdam hoping to enjoy the atmosphere and views of the city. Instead of an Amsterdam view from my window, I was literally looking at the shoes of people walking past at street level. There are no proper windows, the apartment felt very stuffy, and there was a noticeable smell of dampness. Another serious inconvenience is the entrance. It is only slightly more than one metre high, meaning that every time you enter or leave, you have to bend down dramatically. For an adult, this is extremely uncomfortable and something guests should definitely know before booking. What makes the situation particularly frustrating is that none of this would have been a problem if the listing had simply been transparent. Just clearly state that this particular apartment is located in a semi-basement. Then guests can decide for themselves whether they are comfortable with that.

Excellent!
