Maike and Caspar are the best hosts you can get! Super caring, they invited us to their place for coffee and drinks, they lent us rain jackets and umbrellas and even a sweater, because the weather was unexpectedly cold. The room is perfect, clean, private, very complete, awesome views to the canal, private shower and bathroom, yummy breakfast. The area is very nice and modern and we loved getting to know that part of Amsterdam which you would not normally know if you stay in the center. It's very easy to get there by bus or tram. If you rent bikes, it is also close by. Not exactly walking distance if you've already been walking all day in the city... We highly recommend this place!
