Raymond's place is in the middle of 9 straatjes, the most beautiful part of the Amsterdam Grachten area with plenty of nice shops and cafés. We came there for kings day and there are partys on the street everywhere. Keep that in mind when you want to celebrate - Raymond runs the bar downstairs and it plays loud music during the festival weekend. So it might get hard to catch a lot of sleep.
He is a wonderful host with a lovely breakfast served whenever you want it and great advise for good restaurants (go to Daalder!). The room is spacious and equipped with everything a traveller needs (fridge, coffee machine, Lonely Planet, huge comfortable bed...) We would definitely come back!
