Miriam's apartment is on the fifth floor of a building in an area with woods and meadows so the views are marvelous - you are up with the birds. There is even a nest right outside the bedroom window, and birdsong will accompany you to the nearby bus stop. I particularly enjoyed a Dutch breakfast on the balcony and the wide-ranging conversation we shared. If you stay with Mirjam, you will experience a different side of Amsterdam. Highly recommended.
