Not a great place to stay. It served the purpose of laying your head down but there was nothing great or enticing about the site. There was also nothing to watch on the tiny TV.

After arriving at my airbnb I went out to find a good place to shoot for later. I found a spot that was literally on the corner of where I was staying and thought it would be perfect when the lights came on and got darker. I soon came to realise after searching for good Amsterdam photography spots that this was top of the list. I thought it was a nice coincidence. #BvsCities
