The photos on Emil's announcement don't said enough about his place. The apartment is awesome: well organized, clean, comfortable, equipped. The neighborhood is good as well, markets, restaurants and public transportation in the same block, or two blocks distance at maximum. It's not exactly at the Amsterdam centre, that's true, but you can reach it directly by tram - more than one option - in few minutes. And, well, Emil was one of the best hosts that I ever met, available and helpful all the time.
