Madelinde's place is a great value for Amsterdam - located in an area that allow you access to public transportation via the Tram/bus system to take you to all Amsterdam has to offer. Madelinde was also very kind and quick to respond to any questions we had. The place itself if as pictured however I would note a few things (1) it is on the second floor with no elevator and the stairs are quite narrow so going up and down with heavy luggage could be a bit of an issue (2) the bathroom is quite small with the shower toilet and sink all within a tight space (no shower curtain to break up the space between the toilet/sink/shower - if you are tall, I am 6'2", or otherwise adverse to showering within inches of a toilet - you may want to consider another option. Having said that, as noted... the place is as pictured so if you take a look through the pictures and feel its a good fit, it will be!
