Erik was extremely patient as we messed up our arrival time. When we arrived, he was super gracious, going out of his way to explain the property and area. We especially appreciate that he gave us two sets of keys! The room is spacious and nicely decorated with a small fridge and everything you need to make a simple continental breakfast. Having access to a tea kettle and microwave was great! The bathroom and shower was super clean and there is only one other room with which this is shared - access and privacy was never a problem. The apartment is located in a perfect area of Amsterdam - within a 10 to 15 minute walk of the train station if you have a backpack or light luggage and on a street chock full of amazing cafes, restaurants, shops - a grocery store, and liquor, cheese and pastry shops - our favorite cafe and specialty food shop with awesome coffee was Stach, a couple of minutes down the street/just across the bridge. We definitely hope to return and recommend Erik's place!
