Astrid's place was just lovely, in a garden, very private and in a very quiet area of Amsterdam. Close to Vondel Park, restaurants, pharmacy, super market, and ATM. Just 15 minutes away from the airport, which is really convenient, specially if you have an early flight departure as I did.
The room had everything you needed and more, Astrid keeps it very clean, full of amenities, the basic ones and ones you normally don't pack but you need. It had a Nespresso machine, which was great because I'm a coffee drinker, but also had tea. Astrid greeted me with a can of Stroopwaffles, which I love, and maps and books about Amsterdam. She was even kind enough to lend me her own TRAM card so I wouldn't have to buy one.
If you are person that wants to discover Amsterdam during the day but wants to get a good night sleep away from crowded areas, this is the place for you.
