Thomas's place was an ideal spot for those not only looking for a cool, cozy, home-y place, but also a great location where it is far enough away from the city to feel isolated and quiet, yet close enough to get there just under a 10 minute walk. North Amsterdam has a very cozy feel to it and I suggest to anyone interested in going to Amsterdam to stay at Thomas's place if they want an ideal visit :) Its about an 8 minute walk to the always going, extremely frequent ferry and only takes 2 minutes to get to Central Station once on it. Thomas was also a great host, giving an abundance of great suggestions for food, drink, nightlife, and just overall great things to do in Amsterdam. His home felt like a home away from home and I will gladly return to his place when I return to Amsterdam. THANKS THOMAS!
