Everything was perfect, the location, the room, the bathroom and most of all - the owner even got us a small breakfast each morning to start the day even tho it was not included in the room rate. Great stay - very central, with a picturesque view right when you step out of the hotel.

We loved our stay here - perfect location, really great room (the bathrooms appear newly renovated), and the host was friendly and helpful. We stayed in Amsterdam whilst there was a curfew, which was fine because the room was so nice. Would definitely recommend.
