Erik's place, situated in North Amsterdam in IJ-Plein, is a fantastic location for travelers who want to get away from all the chaos of noisey town life. Saying that, 15 minutes, and your back in the thick of it! The ferry from the main station leaves and arrives every 5 minutes, so it really takes no time at all to get back and forth from the city. Amsterdam North itself is an up and coming area with an 'alternative' art scene and the 'Eye' Film museum is also based there.
Erik is a super friendly host and always takes the time to make sure all is well with his guests. We slept well and the amenities there were super. A great stay all round and we'll be back for sure.
