I just found out my bro has put down his deposit on North Eastern Univeristy. Last time we spoke it was between that and Loyola, Maryland. I was a freshman dropout of the Univeristy of Maryland* so I was worried about him going to Loyola. At least in Boston, if he needs to unwind he can always take the T to my place to decompress for a bit. It is also far enough from New York that he can feel independent but still go home when all of his friends aren’t around.
As a graduation gift I am taking my brother to Amsterdam the week after GUADEC. Anyone have suggestions of where we should stay?
* I later graduated Hofstra which in a winding path finally led me to Red Hat, so no regrets

I stayed at the City Hotel in Amsterdam a couple of months ago, which was minimal but fairly well priced and had an excellent location to NEMO and the Central Station. Unfortunately, the breakfast was a piece of bread with some cold cuts, the road noise is a bit much and there were problems with the shower. A touch uneven, but YMMV.
