Leonardo (Leo) went above and beyond as a host. He made sure everything was clean, offered coffee and other snacks, and he even drove us to a store where I could get a new passport photo taken after mine was stolen. He provided great directions and a map as well. Also, his cat named Chuck was an adorable assistant host.
Location wise, this is a great value if you are looking for a place to explore Amsterdam from. It is just a short walk and free ferry ride away from the city center.
