I hope that the fact you have to get a ferry to the central station doesn’t put anyone off because it’s a 5 minute, free and simple process. We actually saved money because the ferry is free and if you stay anywhere else you have to pay for trains from the centre to your hotel. The place is attached to the hosts house which makes you feel safer, but completely private the door is locked and they don’t come in at all- it’s like having your own apartment completely. The room was decorated stylishly, the shower was amazing (make sure you push the left hand side handle as far back as it will go to get maximum shower strength), there are kitchen facilities and the bed was very comfortable. A perfect place to stay for a trip into Amsterdam as tourists, would love to stay again! Not got one complaint or recommendation.
