I can highly recommend staying at Tanja's place in the eastern part of Amsterdam. First of all, communication with Tanja was very easy and I received quick replies before going to Amsterdam. Furthermore, Tanja was a very nice host who took the time to drink a cup of coffee and share great insights on the cool neighbourhood that she is living in. The apartment was cosy and I felt very much at home during my stay. In my opinion the location of the apartment is perfect as there are a nearby supermarket, bars and cafés as well as a metro station. I could definitely stay at Tanja's place next time I am in Amsterdam :)
