Great location. Great Apartment. Great deal!

I had a very comfortable stay in Chris's apartment, just like all the rest of his guests, starting with a warm welcome from his agent next door, who made sure i was aware of the amenities and had all the information i needed.

Chris's apartment is one in a row of beautiful brick buildings, in a nice, safe, neighborhood. Clean, sunny, and stocked with everything you need. The stairs are steep and narrow. The sleeping area could not have been more comfortable, tucked away in a nook. The cute dog faces on the couch cushions guard and comfort you.

Many Amsterdamsters - all of whom speak English - who learned where i was staying said "Oh, the Oud-West is a very nice part of town." My first night there, i walked to The Bulldog Palace to purchase a brownie and then happened upon Hans Dulfer's jamming jazz band. You can imagine what happened next! The next day, i rented a bike on Overtoom and went zoom zoom around nearby beautiful Vondelpark before i offed Joni Mitchell's song "Turbulent Indigo" to a few ears at the Van Gogh museum.

Chris was cool, joining me in dutchifying his name in our email chats, duuplicating voowels.
