Berith's place was excellent and she herself a fine host. She and her young son were very hospitable. Berith is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Amsterdam and I very much recommend you get away from the centrum and explore the North of the city as she advised - and you'll be surprised! The NDSM wharf is very nice with a bar on a schooner ship! Cafe ONS in Buidosweg was also very nice and typically dutch. I enjoyed walking along the canal on the North side and down the cycle path. Thanks Berith for your outstanding hospitality. The place is very clean and Berith respects your privacy without being intrusive yet she's there to guide you with anything at all. I look forward to staying with Berith when I'm next in Amsterdam. Cannot recommend highly enough!
