Petra made it very easy for us to access her home (thank you for the early check in!) it’s a lovely private studio upstairs. We had a double bedroom, which was very comfortable with memory foam mattress, A very stylish bathroom and huge bath! and also living room with useable microwave, toaster and kettle. There’s a late night shop about 10 mins walk away called Avondwinkel Uno.
The walk to the nearest tram (Johan Huizingalaan) is about 7 mins walk away and trams come every few mins, on number 17 you can get to Amsterdam centraal within half an hour. And you can buy tickets on the tram itself towards the back. Note- you have to buy separate tickets to and from the airport from any train station.
Recommendations: if you want quality food and not a gimmicky venue, try ‘Pesca’ for seafood and ‘Mappa’ for incredible Italian food, would definitely book in advance if going at the weekend.
And if you’re going to the Heineken experience (which was actually really good and worth the money), or doing anything touristy, book an early slot! 12pm or 1pm to avoid the crazy afternoon queues.
Go to Popeye for the best brownies ;) and Paradox or Original Dampkring for the nicest sit in coffee shop
