Luchiena and Philip were exceptionally kind and gracious hosts - they gave us suggestions for things to do in Amsterdam, helped us with directions to various places, and made us breakfast - a perfect start to our days. The location is fantastic, overlooking the Amstel river and only a few mins walk from public transportation, making it easy to get to/from the airport and city center. The room was both spacious and cozy, and I am grateful that check-out time was flexible since I was able to relax and gather up myself after running the marathon. Our stay could not have been better!
