Staying at Rob's place made our otherwise mind-blowing experience in Amsterdam feel like home. His neighborhood is very accessible by metro as it's very close to the Bijlmer Arena, which made transportation very easy, but the place is actually far enough from the city center, so it's also very quiet which made sure we always had a nice and private place to rest after we were done with our adventures downtown.
Rob himself is also a sweetheart and we loved him immediately. He's very passionate about art, and we had the most amazing conversations about technology, design and he even showed us prototypes for projects that he worked on. He's also a very resourceful host, giving us instructions and suggestions about what to do in the Netherlands, but also guiding us with more basic information like where should we go to buy a toothbrush. We felt safe staying at his place from day one, and we're definitely staying there again when we return to this magic city. Thanks a lot Rob! We miss you!
