Femke's apartment was very well located in Oud West and quite comfortable. If you're looking to experience a bit of Amsterdam's local scene and get away from the most touristy spots (that are still very accessible by bike or tram), it's a great spot. The place is on a quiet and peaceful residential block, but there's a nice cafe/bakery right on the corner and within 1-4 blocks you'll find many hip and interesting eateries, shops, and bars. The apartment itself is clean, modern, simple, and comfortable with a cute balcony overlooking a quiet green courtyard. Femke provided delicious coffee and a sweet treat as well as guide books and her own written tips on sights. Femke's place was a great base for our biking explorations of the town, and we really enjoyed exploring Oud West as well.
