Rick's apartment was an excellent choice for the three nights I stayed in Amsterdam. Located in Rembrandtpark in the Overtoomse Veld neighborhood, it is a bit outside of the city center. It's only a 10-15 minute bike ride to get into the city, and in route you get to see a bit of the Amsterdam-West area, something you might not venture out to if you're staying in Centrum. The apartment itself is excellent. My room was well equipped (TV with Netflix, mirror, desk, place for clothes), bed was comfortable with clean sheets, and also had a great view looking out over the city. The rest of the apartment is very clean, comfortable, and well decorated with beautiful paintings. He has two birds (parrotlets I believe) who like to a sing and chatter in the morning, adding a nice touch to the vibe of the place. Overall, highly recommended.
