Madeline's place is exactly as shown. I never had a chance to meet her as she and her family were away. Her mother let me in and gave me the check information. Quiet, residential area next to a canal. Interesting shops and restaurants in area. Best part is you are 10 minutes via bus/tram from the heart of Amsterdam and all the action and then you can return to a quiet comfortable space to relax. The sattelite TV with English stations was a bonus!!
