All the reviews are very accurate. Mike made us feel welcome and very comfortable. The location was very good . Matter of fact I purchased a 3 day transportation pass and only used it once. We were able to walk to everything. The only thing of importance that you should be aware of is that the stairs leading to the flat are very steep. So if you are challenged with climbing stairs, Mike's place nay not be the best choice. But then I think most stairs in Amsterdam are like that! Way better than staying in a cramped hotel room. Thanks Mike!
