Mike was fantastic. I was greeted with a smile, a tour of the house, was shown my room (complete with a snack and a personalized welcome letter). Mike invited me to chat when I arrived, offered me food/drink, and offered to do whatever he could to make me feel at home and comfortable (when I told him I was leaving early the next morning to go sightseeing, he told me to wake up him so that he could make me breakfast). My room was spacious, and the common areas were all updated and very well maintained. The only downside to the listing is the location - it takes about 20 minutes to get to downtown Amsterdam. That said, public transit is close, and the trains move quickly - very easy to get around.
