Alex's place is in a great location for those who have never been to Amsterdam before. It is a short walk to any of the local tourist attractions, bars and restaurants. The room was clean although quite small and simple but that was perfect for us who were not planning on staying in the room for very long other than sleeping and washing. Only draw back was only one window opened slightly which made the room a bit stuffy at night. All in all a good stay though. Definetily recommend for those wanting to stay in a central location.
