We arrived to John's place at 8:30am after 27 hours of travelling, and John just made it all so easy for us to arrive and settle in. The bed was incredibly comfortable, his apartment is warm and welcoming in a quiet neighbourhood, and it was really simple to get there. But the most outstanding part of our stay had to be how welcoming John was. It was great to share stories with him and to get to know about his Amsterdam, and also about John's very interesting life. We really hope to stay in touch with John and would encourage anyone going to Amsterdam to know they can feel comfortable in John's home.
