Yahav and his girlfriend Dierdre were extremely friendly and upbeat. Yahav was happy to sit with us when we arrived to explain how the city was laid out, and offered advice on exploring the sites we were most interested in seeing.

While his apartment is a bit outside of the main touristy areas in Amsterdam, Yahav's square is equipped with a great bike rental place (nice quality for tourist bikes) as well as a grocery store, bakery, café, and even a Doner Kabob stand (the best we had in Europe!). It was very easy to bike to the city, and overall, we had a great trip to Amsterdam.
