I had a great stay at Rick’s.
Rick responds to messages very quickly and provides clear instructions. Rick kindly gave me recommendations of where to visit in Amsterdam, which was much appreciated. Rick has also provided a guide in the room which gives recommendations for local places to eat.
The building is easy to find using a smartphone. It’s right next to Rembrandtpark, which is a nice place to walk around when you have some spare time. I walked through there at night and personally felt safe. It’s a nice quiet neighbourhood.
The bus, tram and train stops are all within walking distance of Rick’s place . I personally used the tram the most to get into central Amsterdam. If you’ve never visited Amsterdam before, I’d recommend buying an OV-chipkaart (similar to an Oyster card if you’re from London) as this makes travelling much easier and you won’t have to constantly buy new tickets when travelling. You can buy these from the ticket machines. I bought mine from baggage claim at Schiphol airport. This OV-chipkaart is especially useful if you’re visiting other cities.
Rick’s place is very clean and tidy and I slept well. It’s important to remember to be quiet as there might be people sleeping in the next room.
If you don’t mind a short commute into Amsterdam central, then Rick’s place is a great choice! I would definitely stay again.
