Rick is the perfect host - extremely personable and friendly, and went beyond my expectations to ensure my visit was comfortable and pleasurable. The room was superb - excellent views of Amsterdam throughout the flat. His decorating tastes are impeccable - the nice art, decorations and furniture provide a sophisticated yet very personable atmosphere. The location was perfect for me, for it's just a short bike ride (or tram ride) to all the action in the center of Leidseplein square (and then onwards to Amsterdam central). I'd recommend a stay with Rick 10 times over - you will not be dissappointed!
