I had a great time at Tim's place. It was nice, simple and eloquent. Tim also went out of the way to ensure I was able to get into the apartment (he was out of town). He was also helpful in recommending what was around in the neighborhood for my needs. The place was not as central as I would have liked, but there are a lot of shops and restaurants in the area. The neighborhood is quite lovely. Downtown Amsterdam was only 15 minutes away by tram or bus. Although Tim was not there physically, he was an excellent host.
