Sven was very helpful in giving instructions on how to find the place. Beds were very comfortable and a few details like a bottle of water, coffee and snacks made our arrival very welcoming !

Wonderful small suite. Close to the hosts but quite private. It’s small, but very well laid out and has everything you will need. But the best thing is the location— steps from Saphati Park and several tram lines, convenient everything.

We stayed in de pijp at Claire’s home for one week. It was perfect. Plenty of space, tools for cooking, blankets to stay warm, it was an all around excellent experience. And the location is perfect. 4 min walk to local tram, 10 minutes to the metro.

In general, the place was a good one to stay in. The location is fantastic - easy walks to restaurants, the tram, the park, grocery store and more. Getting into the city centre from the location was easy. Communication with the hosts was easy - Sven met us in the flat and walked us through it and they checked in the next day to make sure we had what we needed. You do hear them chatting and walking above your head, though, which was awkward. The flat itself, as others have said, is musty and dated. The floor had patches that looked like they'd gone through repair without matching the existing floor, the walls need a coat of paint, there was a section of wall missing around the radiator in the smaller bedroom. The window in the main bedroom had a crack in it. There's not really a good place for luggage if you're not staying long enough to justify unpacking - especially if you're traveling with larger bags. I was able to keep mine squeezed in between the wall and the bed, but my friend had to keep hers in the living room as there was nowhere for it in the second room. Bathroom is a good size with lots of storage. Water pressure is great. Nothing but towels is provided, so make sure to bring your own. Kitchen seemed to be functional, though we didn't use anything other than the microwave, dishwasher and tea kettle. The listing advertised a washer/dryer, but we looked throughout and didn't find either.

There was good and not so good with this booking. The Pros- the owners were very gracious and let us store our luggage there early even though the apartment wasn’t ready until 3 p. We really appreciated that! The bed was very comfortable. The apartment was quite roomy. The surrounding area was great- we were near the Albert Culyp market and many wonderful restaurants. Several tram stops are quite nearby. The owners were very responsive when we had issues with the TV then even stopped in to make sure everything was ok. The downsides- the apartment was terribly musty. It hits you as you walk in. My husband got quite congested with resp issues throughout our stay and I think it was related to that mustiness. The apartment is very drab and needs updating. It is dark with no color. Rather depressing but “functional”. There was only one pan to use for eggs and it was oversized. They could use some variety in pans and utensils. There were older, used dishcloths/sponges for the kitchen sink which was sort of disgusting. Even though only used once, those should be replaced with each rental. Finally, there was no soap for the shower. There was only the handwash from the sink. I kept forgetting to buy some when we were out but that is a basic you expect to be included in the rental.

I booked this VRBO property for a vacation in Amsterdam. It was an ok place to stay; great location. However, there were a couple of issues that we encountered during our stay. No Fire Alarm: Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that there was no fire alarm in the unit, despite it being clearly listed as an amenity. This is not only a blatant violation of safety standards but is also illegal in Amsterdam. The lack of a basic safety feature left us feeling uneasy. This was brought up to them and was resolved the next day. However, since it is a safety concern, I do feel it is important to mention it here. Messy Visit: The owner informed us that they needed to replace the washing machine during our stay and requested access to the unit. Given the circumstances, we gladly granted permission. To our dismay, we returned to find the place in a worse state than when we left. Used coffee mugs were left unwashed, and the toilet was unflushed—a clear sign of disrespect and unprofessionalism. Unsafe Actions: To add insult to injury, during that same visit, the owner irresponsibly opened what can only be described as a rear window that functions as a door leading to the backyard. This not only allowed insects to invade our living space but also posed a serious security risk. Anyone could have entered the unit without our knowledge. Safety and security should be top priorities for any rental property, and this VRBO failed on both counts.

The spot and host were excellent. Great trip.

This property was very comfortable and location perfect! Close to metro and things to do and see The hosts were very responsive and we appreciated their help when needed We truly enjoyed our stay! Thank tou
