This place is away from the city centre at a walkable distance from the metro station Gein (metro no 54 goes therefrom the Centraal station). Life here is very quiet and peaceful, especially for people who want to rest from the busy Amsterdam city experience. Eric is a very nice person. Helped me out in getting to his home as well as good places around Amsterdam. He leaves the room to you no disturbance at all. My stay was peaceful here. He offered me his kitchen to cook but I didn't find any time to do so. There is a Jumbo supermarket just opposite to the metro station, if you want to buy stuff for cooking.
