LOCATION: the location of Kenneth's place is just fantastic. It's my favorite area of Amsterdam and was better than I expected because it was right next to (in my opinion) Amsterdam's best park. Rent a bike nearby because traveling Amsterdam is best done on a bike. Use google maps to find a bike rental company. We used A-bike and it was just "okay" there are many so you'll have no problem doing that. When you come home, you'll be able to lock up your bike on a bike rack or simply lock them together in the little porch area. This is a really wealthy and beautiful area so you'll definitely feel safe to do so. AMENITIES: the amenities of metropolitan European cities means that there will be lots of people living around you and your space will be small. Kenneth's place has an oven, a microwave, a toaster, a really nice single button press Bosch espresso machine that will save you lots of money in coffee (its expensive, here), a refrigerator that Kenneth loaded with 2 tasty local craft beers, 2 bottles of mineral water, and a bottle of wine that were a really nice touch. The bathroom is small though completely functional with a normal sized shower, it also smells really great due to a really nice oil air freshener. The TV has cable channels and there is a fast WIFI connection that was seamless to connect to and use. The sink's handle to turn on the water is weird. Take notice to the note on the shelf to the top left of the sink for instruction on how to turn it on, or just jiggle it a lot until you figure it out. How to use the espresso machine: if there are any red lights, this means you must dump the water and the coffee from the removable tray, then place back into the machine, press on the power button, then grab a cup and place it under the steamer on the right side and turn the dial until how water blows out. This will reset the empty lights and allow for the one-press double or single cups. This was not intuitive and I had to message Kenneth about it. I suggest that there be a note nearby the machine so other guests will not encounter this issue. BED: the bed is a futon that my wife and I never ended up converting to a couch. It is moderately comfortable and is about the size of an American full size mattress. I am 6'6" and my wife is 5'4" we were able to sleep fairly comfortably together. LIVING SPACE: there were two antique chairs to sit and eat at a small table in the morning, the stovetop and pans were all we needed to cook ourselves eggs and toast before starting the day. This is a studio, meaning there will be no rooms other than the bathroom. The entire place is around 250 square feet (about a 12'x20'...
