This is the perfect place to see all of Amsterdam! A very short walk or a speedy bike ride from Amsterdam Centraal, you can pretty much get anywhere you want quickly whether it's inside the center of the city or the outskirts. There are bakeries, delis, cheese shops, restaurants, bike rental shops, etc all within walking distance. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe - even coming home later at night. The room was clean, beautiful and quiet. The design had modern yet rustic touches to it and the bed was a soft place to retreat to after a long day. As a host Riks is extremely welcoming, helpful and respectful. He ensured I had the directions and kept in touch close to my arrival, but then gave me space to treat the place as my own, coming and going as I pleased. I'm so happy to have found it and would definitely choose Riks's place again for my next trip to Amsterdam.
