We had an amazing stay in Fred's apartment, which is located in a quiet neighborhood of Amsterdam... walking distance to the center. The apartment is suitable for 2 and really nice, clean and cozy. He is a very friendly host, always reachable and flexible with check-in and check-out times. His recommendations concerning food in his neighborhood are worth a visit, we especially fall in love with the small Chinese restaurant...great food.
I highly recommend staying at his apartment if you wanna visit Amsterdam and you don't need to be in the middle of the center.
