Hans is the most gracious host I have met. He made every effort to provide me with a comfortable stay. He provided breakfast and other food items and beverages (including a bottle of wine) throughout my stay. He helped me secure tickets to a canal cruise and a discount to the lookout! He offered to organize a bicycle tour, although my schedule did not accommodate. He opened his home to me and made me feel as if it was my own during your stay. As for the location itself, the amenities are pretty nice. My room was quite spacious and included a sink. The bed was quite comfortable. I didn’t think the shared amenities were an issue, at least not that I noticed. Although the staircase is narrow, Hans offered to carry my luggage up them, and there are lights for climbing them at night, so I didn’t think they were an issue. The location is excellent, at the start of the canals. It is easy to access various public transportation options from the location, too. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the location, and more than impressed with Hans and his generous and kind nature.
