We really liked the atmosphere: felt like at home and truly cozy. The apartment looks eco-friendly as it had recycle bins. We couldn't meet Nicky as we arrived pretty late however the check-in process was superb as neighbor from upstairs did a quick guide of apartment and even lend us his lonely planet book about Amsterdam. Also Nicky did a good job of placing sticky notes to explain some things. It's close to city center. Also I can't praise enough the view through the windows - perfect place for a morning coffee
