Ron’s place is superlative and perfect for a couple. Ron met us at the door and helped us park our rental in the space provided for us. He is friendly and very helpful. He is a graphic artist and drew a map of the area with recommended eateries, bars, and transportation. You can definitely trust Ron’s recos.
The place is spotless with a big open-plan kitchen and living area. Nice touches of books, art, and also books that help us poor tourists meander our way around the city. The bathroom has good hot water and steady pressure, and the kitchen is well stocked with pans, utensils, plates, bowls, and some condiments. There’s a Nespresso and there were a few days’ worth left before we had to buy some.
The area is right in the midst of the action yet quiet and peaceful. We walked everywhere, as most things in Amsterdam are walkable (to us). But if you want to use public transport, Amsterdam Centraal is close by—that’s just a few stops away on the nearest tram.
I don’t think you can get a better bang for your buck— a friendly, helpful host,;a big attractive loft; excellent location; spotless; just a few steps climb to the apartment; and free parking. And a washer/dryer combo that worked well for us. We had a fun time in Amsterdam, and were there for the festivities on King’s Day. Ron even lent us orange hats for the street celebrations! If you like green zones, you’re right next to the Botanical gardens. Thanks, Ron, for your always friendly help and warmth.
