I had a great time staying at Riks Place. The room is small, but well appointed and all that I needed. The shower is nice and hot. The breakfast/kitchen area is lovely and very well done. I enjoyed my toast and coffee there quite a bit. The location can't be beat. This was my first time to Amsterdam and being so close to the train station made getting there super easy by foot. You're right in the middle of the old section, so if you're there as a tourist like me, it's very convenient to all the sites. I rented a bike around the corner and I was really feeling the Dutch vibe. Had a chat with Riks over breakfast one day, he's a nice guy, and easy going. I'd definitely stay there again.
