I would highly recommend Erik and Mary Jo’s B&B if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Amsterdam. The location is exceptional: it is not too far from the central train station and is in one of my favourite areas of the city with many cafes, restaurants, coffee shops and vintage stores nearby. Erik was a great host. He is charming and highly knowledgeable but he will also leave you to do your own thing should you wish. The bed is very comfortable with a nice view of the street below, and the hosts also offer their guests a generous helping of complementary snacks too which was a bonus! Five stars.
