This was the perfect place to stay during our few days in Amsterdam. Erik was very easy to work with and he even unblocked an extra night for us when our plans changed and we wound up in Amsterdam earlier than originally planned. We stayed in the front room and loved watching the people down on the street. The fan was great to keep the street noise out at night. We didn't find sharing a bathroom or a shower to be any kind of annoyance, and all in all were really pleased with this place. Would absolutely recommend!
