Spent two nights at Martine's place who is a very kind person. We had a warm welcome with some drinks and snacks provided by Martine. The neighbourhood seems to be a quite one with a lot of families. The train station is a 10 min walk and another 25-30 min ride to Amsterdam central. The easiest thing is to get day tickets for the metro which are 7,50 € a day, 12 € for 2 days and so on. I can highly recommend you to stay at Martine's place if you want to have great and funny host and a central place not too far from the city center. Gladly again, see you next time !
