Fantastic location—so close to Central Station and the bustle of the more tourist-oriented parts of Amsterdam...yet walk out the door and turn right and you’re in a laid-back, picturesque neighborhood. Felt very safe as a single woman in this area and building. Riks was incredibly welcoming and helped lug my (too heavy) bag up the 3 flights of stairs, and that was literally the last I saw of another person in the building during my 3-night stay. No complaints and will happily stay here again if I can make it back to Amsterdam!
