Martijn is a warm, calm, welcoming person whose house and elderly dog Lucky are perfect for a solo traveller. He was by helpful with infirmation and enjoyed a chat. Martijn offered me anything in his fridge, tea/good coffee available, and your own tv in the room. The room is as shown, clean, comfy warm bed, and the garden offers the bit extra pleasure. Bathroom and kitchen neat and clean. It's a small place, quiet and relaxing. Good cafes, and a classy seafood restaurant neaby. Bagels and Beans do a good brekkie. transport excellent. It's in west Amsterdam, so you need to tram or bike to the museums, but it's only 15 minutes. A lovely area to walk around with parks and of course a canal. Safe. Turkish restaurants nearby. A real local living experience.
