We had a really great time at Miekes place. She is a very nice host. Her place was beautiful and we we're able to get into the city fast. With tram you can reach Amsterdam Centraal in about 15 minutes. The walk to tram station takes about 5 minutes. Mieke is a very calm and friendly person. She even offered us a piece of her freshly baked pie.
A big recommendation for your stay in the wonderful city of Amsterdam!
