Luis is an amazingly nice and helpful host. He maid sure my check-in goes very smoothly. y sending very detailed instructions and several photos. Luis also sent me a list of nice places to go in the town.
This place is close to train station Amsterdam Zuid (Amsterdam South). You can easily walk to the train station and take a day-trip to other cities in Netherlands. I took the train to Leiden (took only 30 minutes) and from there, I biked to the Tulip fields.
However, to visit more touristic places in Amsterdam (which are closer to Amsterdam Central station) you’d need a public transportation card (otherwise it would be a very long walk from this place). It’s pretty easy to get one in any train station (Note: if you only have American pin-less credit cards, keep some cash as well.) and once you have the card, it’s pretty easy to get to anywhere in the city using bus or tram.
Also from the airport you can take the train to Amsterdam South station, so it is pretty convenient to go to/from this place from/to airport.
