Once I got to the place, Wilbert greeted me with warmth and enthusiasm, and carried my bag all the way up to the 4th floor. The place was how it was described, and I had a great stay in Amsterdam. It was an outstanding jumping off point to explore the Vondelspark, the Museumplein, and the surrounding neighborhoods. I know Amsterdam well, but had never stayed in this neighborhood before and it had many hidden treasures, including one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in Amsterdam across the street. I also commuted into Leiden one day, and found it incredibly convenient. I would stay again!
