Leo is a really charismatic guy, a great host, and extremely kind. His little house is well equipped with all that you need to feel
comfortable. It’s clean and tidy, in a quiet neighbourhood - but deceptively close to all the action. Leo hails from Brazil, so he is really friendly and open, easy to talk to, and will try and help you however he can (Brazilians are the best!)
A couple of notes:
Defiantly take the train and ferry to his house, it’s way cheaper than a taxi and his instructions are very clear and easy to follow. It literally takes 25 min from Schiphol to his front door.
There are two supermarkets very close by. I recommend “Jumbo” over “Dirk” as the take out food options are so much
Leo has a couple of bikes for hire. Most people use bikes to get around the city (you can take them on the ferry and on trains too). It will save you quite a lot of money over the course of your stay vs. cabs/Uber.
Leo doesn’t have a microwave, so Jumbo’s hot-food-to-go is super useful. Otherwise there is everything you could need for a comfortable stay.
Thanks Leo! Hope to see you again some time.
