Gabriel is a great host - very friendly and helpful. This is a big plus if you have never been to Amsterdam. The room is small - not a lot of living space - but very well appointed and comfortable. However, it was perfect for us since we were mainly looking for a bedroom and a kitchen to prepare breakfast and an evening snack. The living space, if you are looking for that, is the back patio. We did not get to enjoy it because the weather was not conducive for that - although, again, we didn't really need it. We did use the bicycles - which was a really great benefit. Gabriel and Marloes place is everything that is advertised.
