Nienke was a wonderful, fun, friendly and helpful host and we enjoyed staying at her place very much. The living room has a comfy couch/chair, big table and tv, the open kitchen is small but has everything you need, there is a dishwasher and washing machine/dryer, great shower and large bathroom, separate nice dining room with piano, comfortable bed and a place to hang your clothes and out the door is a beautiful, spacious private backyard with tables and many places to sit. The location was out from the busy city center but the convenient trams (just a few walking minutes away) can have you there in about ten minutes or out to the airport in no time. Nienke left special touches like a bottle of wine, two umbrellas, lots of info about things to do. So much nicer than a hotel it felt like a cozy home away from home. Amsterdam is a charming and beautiful city and the Dutch are so welcoming and most speak impeccable English. We can't wait to go back. Thank you Nienke!
