Erik has a very nice place. The check in was very simple, the bed was comfortable, and the room was large. We didn't have a chance to meet, but his communication was good. The only downside to his place was the location; but that's just specific to my needs. If you plan to stay out late in Amsterdam Centraal, this may not be the spot for you, as it was sort of a chore to find the right buses and trains to get back. Great host and great room though!
