Joop was a fantastic host. Not only were we personally welcomed and shown around the studio but he left us some delicious stroopwaffles and a bottle of wine. The studio was in a magnificent location - directly opening onto the canal and only a few minutes walk in every direction to something great. Despite being so close to the city centre, there is still plenty of quiet at night to get to rest. Heating in the studio was excellent and all facilities functioned exactly as expected. Would highly recommend Joop's studio for your next trip to Amsterdam.
