Ralf's place is an outstanding gem in the heart of Amsterdam! Ralf greeted us promptly upon our arrival and gave us a thorough orientation to the studio; he had multiple great suggestions about places to eat in the surrounding neighborhood. He also included an orientation booklet in the studio with listings of local restaurants, bike rental places, etc. The studio was fully stocked with everything we possibly needed during our 6-night stay, including ample towels, comfy bathrobes, soaps/shampoos, a small kitchenette with dining table, sink, dinnerware, etc. There were also two fancy coffee machines with multiple flavors of coffee and tea available. The mattresses were extremely comfortable and the bedding was plush and super clean, like in a 5-star hotel. There is a large king-size bed plus a single size cot that Ralf set up for our teen son. There is a rain shower and a hand-held shower option, with endlesss hot water. Everything felt sparkling clean and modern, but with an air of old-world charm and character (exposed beams and bricks). There was also virtually no street noise, so our nights were peaceful and quiet. The location was unbeatable - walking distance to everything we wanted to see (23 minutes to the Central train station, 15-20 minutes to Anne Frank museum, 15 minutes to Rijksmuseum). The only taxi/Uber we used during our entire stay was for transportation to and from the airport. The studio is located on a charming and incredibly picturesque canal. We found a quaint little soup restaurant for soup/salad takeout ("Soup en Zo") a 10-minute-walk away, and took a meal back to the studio almost daily. The location of the studio made multiple trips to and from our home base each day completely do-able. Ralf was also very responsive as a host and replied promptly when I communicated with him via the AirBnb messaging system. For anyone traveling to Amsterdam I would not hesitate to recommend Ralf's studio for its comfort, location and convenience.
