Micha's apartment is spacious and a good value for staying near Amsterdam. He is quick in responding and gave us many tips on getting around in Amsterdam and sightseeing. He is very welcoming to guests. This was our first visit to Amsterdam and staying at the apartment worked out well for our family. Since we planned to spend most our time in Amsterdam we purchased the 5-day GVB transit pass which covers the metro, tram, bus. This made getting to and from the apartment to the city easy and convenient. We purchased groceries at the Lidl supermarket which is about 3-4 city blocks away, a 15 minute walk. My favorite part of Micha's apartment is the kitchen which is fully equipped with gas range/oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a wide assortment of pots, pans, dishes. The refrigerator was stocked with milk, juice, and eggs. Cooking full breakfast and dinner at the apartment was key in managing our travel expense. There are several ways to get to the apartment from Schiphol. If you are first time visitors it is easy to purchase NS train tickets at the airport, then travel to Amsterdam Centraal (where you can purchase the multi-day GVB transit pass at the station complex from the information center), then ride Metro 54 to Strandlviet Station, and walk a few blocks, 10-15 minutes to the apartment. The apartment unit is on the third floor of a large complex and is accessible by stairway. We enjoyed our stay at the apartment for our visit to Amsterdam. There's so much to see and do in Amsterdam. We would like to return some day and see more!
