Gijs always answered our enquiries very quickly when we were still planing a trip to Amsterdam. It was ease to get to his house and he was very welcoming, even though we forgot to get in touch about the time we would arrive. The place is located in the centre and there is a lot to do within a walking distance. Although it is in the red light district, it is very quiet. Check in and check out was completely flexible and we could leave our personal belongings at his place until the time of our departure, which was very helpful. Four of us stayed comfortably at his place. The stairs are a bit noisy and as the room is in the 3rd floor, we tried to make as few "journeys downstairs/upstairs" as possible. We enjoyed our stay and we hope to go back soon.
