This place felt like a genuine place to stay. It is just outside the city center so I had access to walk in but was peaceful enough where I had no trouble sleeping. Riks was a great host as well. He worked with me even though there were a lot of airline issues and even received my bags in my absence. The room is pleasantly sized despite me traveling with 2 bags. All the amenities were very clean. Keep in mind Amsterdam houses are multiple stories so do expect to climb a good amount of stairs to get to your room (it's great exercise for all the good food!). Checking in and checking out was very straight forward and Riks is great in communicating expectations and instructions. I highly recommend this place!
