Great welcome from Riks and his friend Jane, who explained the set-up of the apartment and showed me around the kitchen. After the first meeting I didn't see Riks & Jane the whole time I was there.

The apartment really is excellent and the room is just as shown. Super pressure in the shower.

The heat in Amsterdam that weekend was searing and I was glad to be able to open the two huge bedroom windows to let some air in.

The location of the apartment is brilliant - close to central station and in the Harlem area which is a much more relaxed and less crowded part of the city than the main tourist areas. Jordaan is also close by and Dam Square about a 15 minute walk.

I will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to a single traveller who wants to be close to some great bars and restaurants. You really get to feel like you're a local for a couple of days.
