The funky chickin was perfect for our purposes. we were a group of 6 who split into two rooms. the rooms were clean and tidy and provided everything we needed. lina who runs the place was very friendly and accomodating. i would recommend the funky chicken to anybody who is looking for good practical accomodation without a massive cost.Anonymous

The funky chickin is wonderful, and i recommend it highly.
i took an appartment, and it was very clean and comfortable.
it had everything you would need for a self-catering break.
it is also smoker friendly, which makes a great change from the hotels - and is in a fantastic location - just a three minute walk to dam square.
best of all is the hostess lina, who made me feel very welcome. when i arrived in amsterdam, she even picked me up from the railway station on the back of her scooter, and took me to the house.
she also insisted that i carry her phone number during my stay in amsterdam, in case i got into any difficulties, or simply got lost, and said i could call her any time. there aren't many hotel/hostel managers that would do that.
can't wait for my second stay at the funky chickin!Jamie Chang Pin Tive

This is a great place to stay...the location is set back just a little from all the hustle and bustle in dam but only a 5 min walk if you want to join in (as you do)! lina was pucker...even when we got slightly carried away one night. she let us leave our bags in her appartment on the monday before we went and even charged my mobile for me ***star***
what can i say...if you are thinking of staying in an appartment in dam, check the "funky chicken", Stairs...but this is a problem throughout dam and not just here, so not really a negative, just a warning.Jamie chang pin tive

Lina who own`s it is very helpfull, nice lady the location of the appartments are ideal, you are were you need to be to get to everything, close to dame square and shop`s ideal place if you just need somewhere toget your head down The stairs are very narrow would not recomend for any old or diabiaty people as there is know one to help you with your bags,fridge did not work propely ,no long mirror`s and blind`s on window`s need a goo clean.
