I really enjoyed my stay with Riks. He was an excellent host and I enjoyed chatting with him. His house is in a perfect location, convenient yet quiet. It's close to the center of the city, train station, tram lines, and major attractions, and is situated on a scenic canal street that has all of the flavor of old Amsterdam. His breakfast room has a great view of the canal and street below, which I enjoyed. As with all older houses in the city the stairs are rather steep, which was a bit unnerving to me, but I took them slowly and didn't have any problems getting up and down. All in all, staying at Riks was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely reccomend him as a host.
