Riks is a very kind and friendly person and what we found was not a real surprise from the pictures, we feared the room was small but the "tout ensemble" looked very attractive. In fact, the location is superb with great restaurants and bars and shops around. The top room (ours) is small and the toilet tiny but everything was there. The view of the Amsterdam roofs is great; however, the window has only heavy tents and missed a light canvas for a little privacy during the morning. There is little space for items and people for long staying. The kitchen is superb with the view of the channel and for the breakfast there was a large choice. All in all, we will chose Riks again, thought we would ask for the larger rooms. :-) Arrivederci !
