Independent!
We're an independent source of information on hotels, shopping, things to do, housing, events, etc. We're not a company! I'm just a local guy - with some help of his friends - who loves his city and hate the tourist traps I see daily in Amsterdam. I do my best to offer genuine and useful information, but every once and a while I can't help to add some funny and ridiculous stuff as well. And using the word cheap hotels once more since it's good for advertising. ;-)
