We found Paul's Studio to be everthing that we needed to explore Amsterdam. The self contained room had everything that we needed. There was good basic cooking facilities not that used them. A smalĺ bar fridge , kitchen table and chairs. The bed was reasonably comfortable. Whilst we did not use the tv much it was good on the odd night when we wanted to relax. The studio is right on the street front but this did not cause any issues with noise or privacy while we we there. The location of the studio was excellent. Safe and close to everything. My advice to first timers in Amsterdam is to get use to using the trams early in your stay and watch out for cyclists. Paul is an excellent host. Helpful, friendly and has a heap of good information.
