Jan Willem's place is fantastic. It is beautifully designed and furnished, has a well-appointed kitchen, a lovely dining area and an extremely comfortable bed, and even a small balcony. There is a separate toilet and bathroom (with an actual bath), and the apartment is excellently located in a picturesque residential neighborhood within walking (or tram) distance of the center of the city and commanding a lovely view out over the rooftops to the turrets of the Rijksmuseum.

Jan Willem left us a pile of books and information about Amsterdam, along with an assortment of other goodies, and some drinks in the fridge, and was, by all measures, the most gracious of hosts.

Definitely our home away from home in Amsterdam. Highly recommended!
