Riks' place is perfectly situated close to Centraal (you can reach there by walking) and on the edge of the wonderfully charming Jordaan neighborhood, where you will want to aimlessly stroll. This little room with en-suite bath is small and simple, yet perfect, especially for a solo traveler. I had everything I needed right there, including an extra blanket (it can get a bit chilly). Riks offered some great restaurant recommendations. And he was kind enough to loan my an iPhone charger cord to last me until I could get another when mine died. When I am back in Amsterdam, I will definitely be checking with Riks again to see if this or one of his other spaces is available!
