Riks was there when we arrived and was very welcoming. He took some time to talk to us about his advice on the city and how things worked around his place. You could not ask for a more convenient location. Close to the center but still quiet.To sit and enjoy breakfast with a view of the canal is one of those "Amsterdam moments" you strive for.Room was cozy and clean and we wanted for nothing.Would stay again and recommend to our friends.
