Staying at Andrea's was great! She provided a wealth of helpful information about getting around in Amsterdam prior to my arrival and made me feel welcome once I arrived. Her tip not to bring heavy or oversized luggage is worth heeding. Not only are the steps steep but her place is so well kept, clean and trendy that bumping a heavy suitcase around really doesn't do it justice. Great coffee shops and restaurants in the neighborhood and the location is truly well situated for getting around Amsterdam on public transportation.
