John is a wonderful host. His place is clean, comfortable, and quiet. It is just a quick ferry ride (literally a couple of minutes on the water) to Amsterdam Centraal and the more bustling parts of Amsterdam. We found John's apartment a peaceful respite after going into the main city. Moreover, John is so welcoming, friendly, and generous. He offered us food that he had made and gifted us with the most delicious stroopwafels. He was full of advice on what to do. Definitely try biking in Amsterdam-- it's fun and an experience you don't want to miss!
