We had an enjoyable 4 days in Amsterdam, and Riks was a kind and considerate host. The only drawback, which we should perhaps have foreseen, was the stairs, which closely resembled the north face of the Eiger, and there is no lift. I am 70 and not in the best of health, and I wonder whether the steep stairs/no lift might be clarified. Had I know I don't think we would have stayed there. But breakfast was generous, and the location thoroughly convenient.
