Andrea's place was a wonderful surprise - she has taken a lot of time and care with putting together her flat. She was incredibly welcoming, and was extremely helpful with any queries we had regarding the city of Amsterdam, and the surrounding villages. Her ground floor flat is easily accessed from the local metro station (direct trains to city centre), and there is a nearby car park (which we used and were free at the time of writing this) which is connected to her apartment block. At first sight you may find it off the beaten track, but once you get used to the area, it feels quite safe and has a great local community.
The apartment block is great if you have a bicycle too, as like most of the country, there are dedicated bike lanes connecting it out of the surrounding greenery. It is the first time I've been to an apartment that was purposefully built away from the roads!
My partner and I loved our trip to this city and wouldn't hesitate to stay with Andrea again. She was an incredibly kind and warm host, and we hope to meet again one day!
