I had a great experience in Amsterdam, and much of it is due to Rick's hospitality. The room was clean and comfortable, and living space/breakfast all enjoyable. Rick was very flexible and allowed me to check in much earlier than normal due to an early 8 AM arrival. The free museum pass to all museums in the area was extremely helpful and well used. However, it was the bike rental that truly *made* Amsterdam a unique experience for me! I highly recommend renting the bike for trips all over town, be sure to get a quick briefing on biking etiquette and how to lock the bike securely. The ease of being able to leave the biked locked literally anywhere in town was very convenient. Thanks, Rick and Emilia!
