Erik and Ernestine were utterly friendly, warm and helpful warm without being too obtrusive. We had a minor mishap when my iPhone fell into the slat between the bed and the divider, and because the two were screwed together, there was no way of extracting the phone without calling in professional help. In the end they got the carpenter to come (on a Sunday!), who did a speedy job and didn't even charge us.

Erik and Ernestine also left us some goodies in the (well-equipped) pantry, and let us check out a little bit later than usual--understanding that we were tourists and wanted to take advantage of the brilliant Amsterdam weather that weekend.

Best part about the house is that it's right on one of the main canals! The view is unbeatable.
