This was perfect for my needs: quiet, easy walking distance to central Amsterdam; great food and cafes nearby; and Erasmus Park half-a-block away provided an easy escape from the city when needed. The room overlooking the garden was clean, comfortable, and peaceful. I slept well, and woke up to abundant tea, coffee, and breakfast on my own schedule. Glendon is a wonderful host with great knowledge of Amsterdam. After learning that I was more interested in walking around the city than visiting all the tourist sites, he emailed a list of the city's best neighborhoods to explore. It all worked out perfectly. Great of a solo traveller who needs a comfy, peaceful spot to lay their head, and a base from which to explore.
