Gerard's place was wonderful. Gerard was very communicative, thoughtful, kind, and was very quick to respond. Check in/checkout was easy. He had everything you could need - coffee, tea, fridge, a map of the entire area with areas of interest, a sheet with tv stations, restaurants, etc. Plenty of extra towels, blankets, pillows, etc. His place is in walking distance to basically everything and if you're not down for walking, the tram is right around the corner. Metro is also very close. We had a great time and my husband and I highly recommend Gerard's place if you're in Amsterdam.
