Write up: Amsterdam, a City adventure

AMSTERDAM

From our perspective

 

Slowly pushing open the heavy set apartment door to our home for the next five days, we realised that we had struck gold.

A week before we were due in Amsterdam I spotted an email letting us know that our Airbnb booking had been cancelled about a month prior. Last minute accommodation booking in Amsterdam can be pretty challenging as Airbnb hosts are understandably very wary of young twenty something year olds staying in their personal homes, especially in the summer months. Having convinced a host that we were not coming to Amsterdam for its twenty four hour debauchery, he agreed to let us take over his top floor apartment, sixteen floors up and twenty minutes cycle to the canal’s.
