Sjoukje was a great host; very friendly and full of local tips. The location is very close to the 13 tram, which will get you to central Amsterdam in about 15-20 minutes. However, there are some great restaurants and bars right in Sjoukje’s neighborhood, including an amazing food hall (de hallen), which has twenty or so eclectic eateries. Also the 12 takes you right to Museumplein to see the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum.
Overall great experience, will be staying again on my next trip to Amsterdam.
