All communication was timely and accurate and quite helpful for this Netherlandʻs first timer who really only speaks English to Amsterdam. He communicated with us after our plane landed to ensure we had an easy arrival. Then he even escourted us part of the way to our first destination to ensure we felt comfortable using the public transportation in his city. His room is right on a pretty happening canal. You can walk as little or as much as you want with restaurants, grocery store etc within a block or two. We got by easily without a car or bike with the cityʻs public transportation. The room was just right, extra seating and space for luggage. Linens were of high quality and the mini kitchen was perfect for our needs. Willem was a perfect host and the room was clean and well appointed. When I get a chance to come back to Amsterdam I hope he has room for me to stay with him again.
