I spent 10 nights at Rosie's place and it was a lovely experience filled with warmth.

Rosie's place to start with is clean and comfortable, and I especially love the big windows that I could open during a good day to breath fresh air and watch people walking by on the street. The location was also very convenient and it is within walking distance to the Museum Quarter (~15 min) and even the Central Station (~30 min). The neighbourhood was quiet and safe. As a single female, I could go back late at night alone feeling totally safe.

The room and facilities were fine, but the best part of my stay was the warm interaction with Rosie and her husband Matt. Rosie prepared breakfast everyday and during the breakfast time, she would sit and chat with her guests, giving suggestions on places to go and sharing personal experiences. It was very comfortable chatting with Rosie and Matt (and other guests as well). I can see myself having vague memory of Amsterdam, but a vivid memory of these chit-chats many years later. It is always the people that we meet on the road that impressed us the most and determine whether a trip is a good one.

To me, this is definitely a good trip to Amsterdam and a wonderful stay at Rosie's. Shall I ever visit Amsterdam again, Rosie's place would be my first choice.
Thanks again Rosie and Matt! :)
