Nienke and her family were perfect hosts for our short stay in Amsterdam. On arrival, we felt welcomed into her home and she was helpful in providing us with some local recommendations.
Each morning we woke up to breakfast at our door which included fruit, cereals and fresh warm bread. Nienke’s house is also a one minute walk from a supermarket and there is a mini fridge which was also useful.
The journey to Amsterdam central station includes a 15 minute walk to the NDSM ferry station where you can catch a free boat ride directly to the centre (total 25 minutes journey). Nienke showed us an app where you can track the times of the boats too, although they do leave every 15 minutes.
We enjoyed the quiet, family friendly neighbourhood and was a relaxing spot to return to after a busy day in the city centre.
The room and private bathroom were beautiful and impeccably clean. My friend and I would highly recommend Nienke’s home as a place to stay.
