When reading descriptions of a place to stay it's hard to know in advance how important particular ammenities really are and how overstated some things may be. In Harry's case, each item mentioned is important and if anything, he tends to understate their actual value. His apartment is spacious, very clean and comfortable, perfectly located, in a handsom building, on the edge of a canal and very near beautiful parks. Those few yards walk to Amsterdam's effective public transit system make discovering the city and it's impressive museums a breeze. Though we had time to try only three of his recommended restaurants, each was delightful and could become our "local", were we to spend more time there. And Harry is engaging, attentive and delightful. He is a Super Host! Great stay.
