Hans is a terrific and thoughtful host. He let us into the apartment early when we arrived jet lagged in the morning, helped us with our luggage, and offered lots of good information about the neighborhood. The well -stocked apartment is outside the city center, but within walking distance of Central Station and Amsterdam’s excellent public transportation. We enjoyed staying in this quieter part of the city. The only drawback was the very narrow spiral a staircase—fairly common in Dutch houses—which can be a challenge for folks with big feet! Highly recommend.
