Mischa is a wonderful host. The communication prior to and during my stay was excellent, fast and clear. I arrived early and was able to check in before the normal time which made all the difference. The guesthouse is located in a vibrant part of Amsterdam - very near to one of the best streets for cafes, restaurants, shops - yet the location in the courtyard is quiet and peaceful. A perfect combination. The guesthouse is as described, the bed is very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and there is space to work at the table or relax and watch television on the sofa. It is very clean and there is a dishwasher and washer/dryer. I was able to walk everywhere from this central location - museums, cinemas, parks - and the trams nearby were perfect when the it was raining. It is a great place to stay in Amsterdam and I hope to return!
