Awesome place in amazing location. You can have both wolds - you will be just steps away from most city attractions and have a quiet sleep at night. Central Station is just around the corner (but you can't hear it from the house). Rooms are lovely and the dining room overviews a canal - perfect for sipping a morning coffee while sitting on a pillow-clad windowsill. Riks is a great host, with a great design eye.
You will have to climb few stares up, so mind your numerous large suitcases. This place is definitely my choice when I will be back to Amsterdam
