First of all, staying at Christopher's place was just more than perfect! We came to Amsterdam to look for jobs, an apartment and we even managed to gain a helpful friend! Christopher is a very tidy, generous and interesting person to talk to. It felt like home after chatting and watching rugby the same evening of arrival. He sent us an email with detailed information how to get to his place and gave us great new ideas where to eat out, where to go dancing and where to enjoy the best places in Amsterdam. It was just what we were looking for! The Indische Buurt is a intersting, divers neighborhood, totally safe and by bike everything (Centre, Parks, Amsterdam Arena, Cinemas, shopping, eating out... whatever you can think of) is reachable in 15-25 minutes. The room Christopher is renting out for guests is rather small, but I guess you don't need more when staying for a couple of days. We (my boyfriend and I) would definitely go back again! So I can only advise you...fill out your account and write something personal about yourself to increase your chances staying at Christopher's home! Try to take a chance and get to know a nice English teacher dancing Salsa!
