Hi Hans and wendie, thanks so much, we had a fabulous time in amsterdam! Brilliant location, very central, tea, coffee and snacks in the room. Very helpful info at check in, hans told us about things to do, his favourite restaurants, bike tours and rentals and even a bit of amsterdam's history. Basically everything within walking distance, prinsengracht and lots of cafes and bars around the corner.
We had to leave for the airport at 4 am (convenient via nightbus from nearby leidseplein) and found breakfast muffins at our door as a goodbye gift. Thanks wendie, lovely gesture, lovely muffins! :-) see you next time!
