We met Michael (Jacob's son) at the apartment, which was a basement studio. He was friendly and welcoming, and had a map of the area with useful places nearby which was very handy. We were initially told that check in was 2 pm but were later informed that it would be ready at 1, which was perfect timing for us arriving from the airport. There was also a very cute dog :-)

Very clean place, comfortable bed, great location! About 10 minutes by foot to Rijkmuseum and Van Gogh museum, 15-20 minutes to Leidseplein.
