Alexander's place is an excellent location to explore Amsterdam from. The central location makes it walking distance from all things to explore in Amsterdam, ranging from nightlife to small cafes, restaurants and history. Alexander was a very helpful host, going one step beyond by letting us check-in early upon arrival, free of charge. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed to use. Alexander gave us some insight into the local area and this was helpful for our first day of exploring, pointing us in the right direction of central squares and hotspot areas. All in all, a 5* experience with Alexander.
