We had a great stay at Rick's place. He gave us a warm welcome and provided us with all the useful information to make our stay comfortable. His place was very interesting with a lot of character. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and easily accessible by public transport.

Just a quick note - in case if someone prefers to travel with large pieces of luggage, need to keep in mind that the stairs leading to the apartment are a bit steep and narrow which is again usual in many Amsterdam apartment buildings.
