Very far from the center of Amsterdam, so you have to take the number 2 tram for 25 minutes to get to anything interesting in Amsterdam. The rooms are neat and spacious. Nice place relatively inexpensive, but lousy location. You know the 3 most important things about real estate: Location, location, location.

Gianni seems a little suspicious and stand-offish of people renting the room. He definitely wants to be separate, and will not let you use the kitchen even to make coffee (the smell of him making real espresso is torture). Breakfast is provided, but the bread out of a bag is the worst ever, especially as the Netherlands has great fresh rolls at any supermarket. On the other hand, Gianni is a normal guy, just going about his life, and it must be tough having people be in your house, touch to do.

He has two bicycles, that he wants to charge for, but they are in terrible shape (the seats can't be raised or lowered). They should come gratis with the rooms, which he did let us do (gratis), but since they were in such terrible shape, and only 2 bikes (we were 3), we ended up not using them.
