Chris's is a great host. His place is very modern and smartly designed. Everything that was mentioned was available and functioning. He had given all the instructions to us beforehand on how to arrive at his place. He was there to greet us when we arrived and explain the house rules in detail which is always helpful. He maintains his place very well so it is expected that you do the same, and I appreciate that. The place is in a nice residential neighbourhood overlooking a sporting facility. It's a 5 min walk to the tram stop and a large grocery store, so all very accessible. And if you don't want to walk, take the bike! Chris had a couple of bikes for us. One thing you have to do is bike around in Amsterdam. There is no better way to see the city.. it's about a 15 min bike ride to the city centre. Be a bit careful when riding as people ride fast. But you can get used to that in a couple of hours. For us biking around Amsterdam would remain the highlight of our trip.
