I was running late, and he was off to catch a plane. We had a pretty quick exchange. Christopher met me in front of the building and helped me get my stuff up to the flat.

This is Amsterdam. The stairs are steep. I actually came to enjoy it, even after an 18 mile run.

The flat is as advertised. Spacious, bright, comfortable, and private. I loved the rooftop deck and the views. He has a great esthetic and design sense. Nothing was cluttered, yet nothing was generic.

The flat is within walking distance to markets, shops, restaurants, museums, yet quiet at night.

Just do it.
