Nikky's place is a great place to stay if you want to explore Amsterdam (and it's surrounds). It's a 5 min walk to the Noorderpark Metro and a slightly longer walk to 2 ferries that take you (for free) to Centraal station, so the transport links couldn't better. The location is also in a nice quite neighborhood, perfect for unwinding after a long day jostling your way through busy Amsterdam! Any and every amenity you might need is within a short walk and there are some nice restaurants nearby also. All in all, I can't recommend Nikky's place highly enough.
