Unfortunately, I didn't get to know Erik that weekend as he wasn't home. But he's always been very friendly and helpful in his emails. Upon arrival, I was hoping for a short message with his Wi-Fi password. But his housemate was able to provide it when I asked him.

The house is new and clean and the area seems to be a safe neighborhood. There were lots of free parking spots in front of the house. Contrary to the rooms in the city, this room wasn't noisy at all. This was a big plus for a fan of silence like me. A late 5 pm check out was also possible free of charge. Perfect.

After one night out clubbing in Amsterdam (night busses are available), the windows with the Venetian blinds weren't perfectly dark during the day. Fortunately, I brought a sleeping mask to fix this problem. The blanket wasn't filled properly and didn't feel warm enough even though it was summer. Above that, I wasn't able to find sugar for my coffee anywhere in the kitchen.

Even though there were minor problems that Erik will definitely tend to, I can recommend this room and would book it again thanks to the good value for money.
