Wilbert was there to meet us and he immediately made us feel very welcome. The guest room is on the top of a four-storey building; like many Dutch city houses the stairs are steep and narrow and you need to be reasonably fit to manage them. The studio was very warm and clean. The kitchen is OK for breakfast, and for a micro-wave supper. The shower was great; the toilet is shared with an adjoining studio. Good views over a quiet residential area at the back. Good location with easy access to a no.1 tram and the Vondel Park. The Rijksmuseum and the van Gogh museum can be reached on foot. We'd go back without hesitation.
One word of warning: if you are going by car, there is no economical long-term parking in the street. You have to use the Park and Ride parks. The nearest one is at the Olympic Stadium. Make sure you know how the Park and Ride ticket system works. It is not straight-forward and it is well worth taking a few minutes out to study its intricacies. In particular keep the Park and Ride bus/tram/metro ticket you receive when you leave your car. And make sure you use it when you return to pick up your car. Otherwise it becomes very expensive (€50 a day at weekends) and you will join a long queue of similarly placed visitors who are not getting much sympathy from the hard-pressed staff at the car parking reception.
