We stayed two nights in Roel's beautiful apartment, which was the perfect base for a weekend in Amsterdam - close enough to walk to the city centre, but in a lovely quiet neighbourhood with plenty of good shops, cafes and restaurants to choose from. The flat was immaculately clean and tidy and very cool, with unexpected details like his excellent music and DVD collections and an espresso machine. Roel was the perfect host, both friendly and helpful, and even drove me to the airport when the trains were cancelled. I can't recommend him highly enough!
