Location was great for us as we were looking forward to do some cycling around the city. On a bicycle, it really isn't hard to get to most places in Amsterdam. Ned did give us this advice before our trip and he was spot on. Ned also gets his guests a special rate of bike rentals at this one shop and we only had to pay 10 euros a day for each bike. Room was clean and tidy; hot water superb! No complaints from us. :)
