Check in was a little choppy, the owners ended up picking me up and taking me to the apartment since there is 8 different buildings in the area. The main tenant, Ricardo, makes this place what it is. He is super friendly and even cooked authentic Italian meals for us while we were staying. Definitely get to know him during your stay and your experience will be enhanced for sure. A life long friend and when visiting Amsterdam again there is no doubt I will be stopping to see him.
