Gisele and Simon were fabulous hosts. I cannot recommend them enough. The room is bright and comfortable and quirky. Location is so convenient without being in the middle of the touristy traffic. Breakfast and coffee supplies are provided, which is nice. The room also comes with two bikes that ride well. This is a great value and the absolute best way to experience Amsterdam. Use the bikes! Simon also gave us some wonderful recommendations for things to do in the city. I owe him our wonderful experiences!
