Gianni's place is everything he advertised: clean, friendly, a nice place to stay.

The trek to the city centre is 15-20 minutes and really straightforward, definitely not a big deal if you're going out for the whole day.

He is strict with the rules, but it made me feel safe (as a mother travelling alone with a four year old).

Will definitely try to stay there again should I make it back to Amsterdam in my travels!
