Discussion Airbnb/VRBO or Hotels: What's Better for Amsterdam?

[Kermit's Pin]

Hi, we're planning a trip to Amsterdam in May and I'm torn between booking an Airbnb/VRBO or sticking with a traditional hotel. I've never rented an Airbnb before and I'm curious about the pros and cons, especially in a city like Amsterdam. For those who've stayed in both, which did you prefer and why? Also, any tips on areas to stay in Amsterdam would be super helpful!
