This was my second time staying with Riks, and it was just as lovely as the first. He's pleasant and easy to reach if you need something. The place is small and basic, but is perfectly as described. And you can't beat the neighborhood...walkable from Centraal, but also near everything Jordaan has to offer. And everything else I wanted to do (opera, museums) was within a thirty minute (or less) walk (of course, there's public transit too). I look forward to my next stay with Riks; I will come back here as long as its an option.
