My stay with Yahav was very pleasant. Transportation into town was very convenient and I even walked one day all the way through Vondelpark, to the museums and then to the train station for an easy ride back to Yahav's place. There are many transportation options in Holland. I preferred the travel card that can be loaded with Euros and provides a really good discount for each ride taken on the bus. It is also good for train but needs a 20 euro minimum before traveling by rail, so it is best to buy a single ticket if taking a final train ride out Schiphol Airport. By the way, the card is good for 5 years (a good incentive to return to a beautiful and interesting city).
