We had a really nice stay at Richard's place. Check-in was easy, communication clear, and the location is VERY central. If you like to be in the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place for you! If you are sensitive to noise, this is not the place for you. We like city noises and it did not bother us, but just for reference we have never stayed in a more noisy place (and used to live in Amsterdam's city center).
