Ruben was as fantastic as all of his reviews suggested! Though he wasn't at home when we arrived, we were let in by his neighbour and he came by later to meet us and say hi. He was very friendly and understanding; happy to give us recommendations and eager to chat with us a bit! He was equally skilled at giving us our privacy, which we also appreciated.

The room was just as pictured, spacious and perfectly clean. The bathroom was large too, and we had access to the kitchen, though we didn't end up using it (the Amsterdam restaurants were too alluring!). The location is good, about a 15-20 minute walk from both the Rijks museum, Rembrant Square and other places of interest. Lots of cute little shops and eateries around. Overall a great value for the money, a lovely room, a respectful and friendly host, and a wonderful experience!
