So, for anyone looking to stay in Amsterdam, Rick is your man. While only got to hang out with him for 20 or so minutes, he was gracious, obviously very hospitable, and easy to talk to. His place is impeccable, leaving nothing to be desired, at least for me. He has food that is available to all his guests (I wasn't used to that), his house is spotless, the view is excellent, and the location is just like a 15 minute walk from the transit station, Leylylaan, where you can literally go all over the country (guess the country isn't that big, but still). His "assistant" is a wonderful, personable, and hilarious woman as well. I mean... I haven't stayed with anyone else in Amsterdam yet, but, as far as I am concerned, this is the place to stay. I could not have been more impressed.
