I never met Riks but was greeted by Jane for check in. This is a canal house in the Jordaan district with just a short 5 minute walk to the station. For some reason I was under the impression that Riks was just renting one room in his home; however he rents multiple rooms. The rooms were basic. The view of the canal from the kitchen was nice and bright. You will have to make breakfast on your own with the food furnished. For some reason I was under the impression from the reviews breakfast was made/served. No big deal. The facility was clean, room is small relative to the rate charged. Overall pleased.
