Daisy's apartment was lovely -- spacious, clean, and with a small
garden off the kitchen. Checking in and out of the apartment was completely smooth. I myself was visiting Univ. van Amsterdam at the SciencePark which was an easy walk through the Flevopark. However it was equally easy to get into the core of the city from her apartment -- trams and buses are less than a five minute walk and perhaps involve a 15 minute ride to get to, say, Amsterdam Centraal. Various restaurants, cafes, and grocery stories are also a short walk away at the Javaplein square.
