Erik is a great host, everything was there nothing was missing. Erik welcomed us with fresh fruits and a bottle of wine, served us with Croissants for the breakfast and was very helpful for recommendations and saving parking fees (which is a topic in Amsterdam). The accomodation is quiet and very well located in a living area, in biking distance to the main spots. It is very close to the city center just in opposite of the central station, from which it is separated by the IJ. With a bike, you need to take the ferry which goes around the clock. Or use the metro if the weather is too bad. Mostly everything can be reached within a radius of three stations. Supermarkets are nearby.
