I spent a week in Amsterdam on vacation from Dubai, and I had the time of my life. On one rainy and cold day, I got to spend a couple hours chatting with Mitch in his flat in the East of Amsterdam. He's a warm-hearted guy who made me feel at home away from home. Accommodations were very comfortable - clean room, clean bathroom, and clean common area. Mitch even made us breakfast that morning without me asking. The bathroom is shared, but always clean; I had no problem with this - a very comfortable situation. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with friendly locals as well. 10/10 would recommend on your next trip to Amsterdam.
