Parag's place is essentially its own private apartment. You have access to a washer and dryer, a perfect bathroom, and quiet and comforting bedroom and an outdoor garden for sitting. The room is cleaned every afternoon, and the fridge and snacks are refilled. As someone who visits Amsterdam regularly, I love the location. The neighborhood is right next to the university, so you have several bakeries and coffee places that attract students. You can also very easily cross the river Amstel by foot, and have access to all the touristy things the city has to offer. Its also very easy to public transportation, and bike transportation is very accessible. I was in the middle of two longs trips in Africa and Central America, so this was the absolute perfect quiet retreat for me.
