We had a great time at Mamereke's house in Amsterdam. Her place is very well located in Amsterdam North, just next to a bus stop with frequent buses that take you to Amsterdam Central in about 10 minutes. The house itself is very cosy and tastefully decorated. Our interaction with Mamereke was very good - she was always responsive and very flexible about arrival times etc and left us a very useful package of yummy stuff. My only advice would be that the house is a bit unsuitable for very small children, as the stairs to the top bedroom are extremely steep. We managed (with a baby and three year old) but it could potentially be a problem for others. All in all, a great stay and a very good host.
