Roel is a great host! His apartment is very convenient to the tram which will take you anywhere in the city. There are also many great restaurants and shops in De Pijp which makes it convenient to grab what you need close by...and we felt very safe walking through De Pijp...even late at night. Roel provided so many helpful tips, a map, restaurant recommendations, and a much appreciated ride to the airport (we made a surprise stop on the way to the airport and Roel showed us a very interesting landmark which we would have missed on our own!) Roel's apartment is extremely clean and stylish! Lots of interesting books, art, and music! And I have to add, the bed was very comfortable. I honestly can not say enough about Roel and his apartment...I will definitely be back!
