Katarina or 'Puck' as she is known is a fantastic host. Her place is a few minutes walk to Amsterdam's city center, but in a quiet neighborhood. You can access public transportation (e.g. Bus, Tram, etc.) easily from her house. She also has a great bicycle you can use which was my preferred way to get around. Her place is eclectic, clean and a typical dutch flat. She was awesome at helping me get discount cards, directions and recommendations of where to go. Puck is also a kind, warm person and I enjoyed having coffee with her in the mornings; she will make you feel so very welcome in her home. It added so much to my first trip to Amsterdam.
