We had a great stay at Jeroen's place. The room was clean and spacious, equipped with small fridge and kettle, which was great in the morning for making coffee. Noord is really nice and peaceful, there is a lot to see and do there, without all the hasle of the centre. There is a supermarket nearby the Jeroen's place, which is really great. There is also a free ferry from the Noord to the Centre to which you can get in about half an hour of light walk, so you can avoid buying public transport tickets. Jeroen was a great host and we would definitely recommend his place!
