Such a great place! It's only about 20 minutes from the Schiphol airport by taxi. If you have a problem with stairs, then this place might not be for you. Personally I loved the spiral stairs to her place they were nothing I have experienced before. The apartment was exactly like the photos. Great natural light during the day with all the kitchen tools to make some nice food. Public transport was a couple minute walk and could take you to many of the museums that Amsterdam has to offer. Maaike also gave us a great list of things to check out the night we arrived and helped us greatly with things we wanted to see. My friends and I are sad that our trip is over but are happy to have spent it in Maaike's great apartment. Thanks again!
