Our stay was lovely. The room was nice & located on a pretty & quiet canal. It is walkable, and near bus stops & good restaurants.
My only feedback is that the check-in process was a bit stressful... the host insisted on sending a video that detailed how to check in, which was an inconvenience because the video was too large to send via the VRBO app, and required using valuable phone data to download (I was traveling abroad & on a limited phone plan). And in the end, the video was totally unnecessary (all we needed was the lockbox number). Getting to the bottom of all of that was a stressful & drawn-out process, while we were traveling into Amsterdam via train. If we had been flying directly into Amsterdam it would have been untenable.
But once we arrived & settled in, it was a lovely room. The room is located inside the host's houseboat where they live, so you do have to walk through the host's shared entryway to get to your room. The window that opens out onto the canal was very nice, and it was lovely watching ducks swimming just outside our room. Another reviewer was disappointed at the view across the canal being a brick wall, but it wasn't a problem for us--we actually appreciated the privacy it provided. We enjoyed having a glass of wine in our room, looking out onto the canal. There are several great coffee shops nearby, and a lovely park.
Overall it was a nice place to stay, and we very much enjoyed our time in Amsterdam!
