We feel lucky to have found Riks and his B&B. He's a very welcoming and helpful host, and his B&B is cosy and well run, in a great but not fancy Amsterdam style. The location is perfect - a very easy walk to the train station and close proximity both to tourist destinations and to quieter, nice neighborhoods. Basically, it provides a great home base for exploring Amsterdam. We didn't see Riks again after our arrival and initial chat, but he made sure we had what we needed each morning to prepare our own breakfast, and our room was very small, but clean and neat, and we had a private bathroom. One note - if your knees aren't in great shape or you have trouble otherwise with steep staircases, this might not be the place for you, but we loved it.
