Thanks a lot to Rick for hosting us! The room, amenities were fine and the breakfast provided was certainly very welcome. Unlike many other Amsterdam places being in an apartment with a lift also saved us a lot of heavy lifting with our luggage.
Possible drawbacks are the distance from the city center (about 30 minutes) and that the room was a bit tight (but not uncomfortable) for two people with big luggage bags. But I do think it is well worth the price and definitely recommend it to other travellers.
