John's apartment was in a good location, near the free ferry which took 5 mins to Amsterdam Central. It was what we expected from the description and photos. We were met by John who showed us the flat and also walked us to the nearby Thai takeaway and to show us where to find the local supermarket...all very convenient. We were able to come and go as we pleased and we used the kitchen to cook for ourselves. John was friendly and we saw him most evenings...(we were out too early to see him in the mornings!) We enjoyed the back and foot massagers. We enjoyed staying in Noord Amsterdam, rather than the city centre.
