Frank is awesome! We had a great time staying in his beautiful apartment, and also had the really nice opportunity to have dinner with him, as it turns out we have a lot of shared interests. The apartment is really lovely. It is airy and calm. The floors are gorgeous and the bathroom has a really beautiful wood counter - also the shower is great. Frank designed the whole place and also did a huge amount of work on it, and we were really impressed! The apartment has a nice back porch -- so you can partake in the everyday life that goes on behind the buildings, and off the street. The location is perfect. It is in one of the coolest neighborhoods in the center of Amsterdam, with great places to eat, including Screaming Beans (for coffee) and La Perla (for great pizza). We also had very nice sandwiches at Cafezinho. The neighborhood has an inviting and relaxed atmosphere and a nice mix of people from different walks of life.

We would most definitely stay in Frank's apartment when we return to Amsterdam. We highly recommend the apartment and the host. Thanks Frank! :) :) :)
