For a hassle free, homely stay in Amsterdam, Gerrit's place is what you want. All the links to get around the city are nearby, and Gerrit kindly provides a map with local cafes, restaurants, shopping etc and many other suggestions marked for you to check out. Gerrit was easy to talk to and had a hands-off approach, which was great for us, although he still welcomed us to ask any questions if we were struggling to settle in etc. All in all, I was very happy with staying here!
