Rick wasn't there while I was staying there, but his assistant Ferdaus let me in and she was very welcoming. The room was great! Really nice view over the park, and pretty easy access to a number of trains, trams, metros, and busses. Most about 15 minutes walking, often through the Rembrandtpark, which is nice. Though, at night those walks can be very dark. An Albert Heijn (grocery) a five-minute walk away, which is great if you want to pick something up for dinner. Self service breakfast was great! Lots of options and well-stocked! Not much in the way of restaurants nearby, which was fine for me as I spent most of my days in the city center and came home after dinner. Highly recommend!
