The appartment was exactly as described, Amsterdam Noord is brilliantly located in a friendly Amsterdam neighbourhood. Don't be put off by the need to get the boat across from central station, they are free, easy and frequent! Nikky was flexible about our arrival and departure times and gave us some great tips of where to go. The flat was clean and welcoming and despite being her first guests we felt very at home. When we return to Amsterdam we would definately try and stay there again.
