We arrived a bit past 14:00 and were welcomed in by Francisco to a beautiful apartment and a wonderful room. He is an artist by trade and it shows in a room full of thought provoking pieces. The apartment overall was really comfortable even better than described. Francisco was warm and welcoming, he made sharing this space with him a joy.

To our delight Francisco provided a guide for the city!
We spent most of our one day trip walking through the city and upon our return (23:00!) were greeted with an offer of tea! We gratefully declined and retreated to one of the most comfortable ( and big!) beds I have slept on.
The next morning we all had a lovely breakfast in their luscious back garden. To the sound of their flowing water fountain we chatted about the economy, our different countries, things to see and do in Amsterdam and of course about their shy pet cat and visiting dog.
Staying in Amsterdam became a much warmer and fun experience thanks to Francisco! We hope to cross paths again and would definitely recommend his place. It was better than described and an honor to be the first guest.

Thank you for hosting us!

Worthy things to note:
Tram is very close and you can (and I think should) get a 24h pass for 7,60€.
Around the block (on same road as tram moving towards center) there are may shops to get food, toiletries or anything you might need!
On that same road, in the direction of central Amsterdam there is a bike shop renting bikes at 10,00€ a day, only about two blocks away!
