LOVED our visit to Erik and Mary Jo’s place! The room was lovely, had everything we needed (hairdryer, small fridge for our cheese, and an in-room sink for getting ready). Shower and bathrooms were just outside the door, and we never saw the other guests across the hall so felt like our own space too! They had awesome touches- provided fruit and snacks in a basket, along with shampoo/conditioner/sunscreen and tour books. They were lovely people as well, greeted and carried our bags up the slightly steep stairs (just 1 flight though!) and sent us a message to make sure we had towels etc.
The location really is excellent. Safe, quiet, but super close to boat tours and Anne frank house, etc. while still feeling like you’re a local. Maybe a bit farther to red light district or the touristy center, but who wants to stay in the middle with all the tourists??
I would love to stay here everytime I’m in Amsterdam, because it’s really that great!
