I was late in booking accommodations for my brief visit in Amsterdam and yet I got a wonderful apartment with a view to stay in.
Although I did not meet Rick, Emilia was very accommodating and was a very gracious host. I really enjoyed Emilia's company and insights that helped me get to see the most of Amsterdam in the two nights I was there.
Bonus: I was provided with a Free Pass to the Anne Frank House and the Rembrandt Museum. Those are two great places to visit and the passes allow you to jump the queues which saves you considerable time.
The apartment is very clean and the breakfast available is really whatever you wish to make. The bedroom is very close to the bathroom and both were very clean as well. The bed was very comfortable.
Location: the location is a bit out of the way but I walked from the Central Train Station to the apartment without any difficulty (I had all my clothes and belongings in a large backpack). It is situated in beautiful Rembrandt Park.
Overall, I definitely would stay at Rick's and Emilia's place again. And I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else.
