Our time at Linda's was great! Her apartment was very cosy and the perfect size for a couple (we stayed for 3 nights). We were unable to meet her as she was out of town but she remained communicative and provided us with information to her friend Nicole, who was also incredibly helpful during our trip. The living room opens up to a
great view of one of Amsterdam's famous canals, the kitchen was fully furnished, and having a washer was a great convenience.
The apartment is situated right in Amsterdam-Centrum in a quiet residental area, but a short 5-10 walk/bike ride to a grocery store (Albert Heijn), one of the best breweries in
Amsterdam (Brouwerij 't IJ) and one of the best gastropubs in the city (Koffiehuis van den Volksbond), where I literally had one of the best meals in my entire life. You can also hop on the bus, which is a 3 minute walk, but the best way to explore the city is to rent a bike. You're a easily 10-25 minute bike ride to most of Amsterdam's major attractions and can easily get across to explore Amsterdamn-Noord.
I'm so glad I choose Linda's apartment and would recommend it without hestiation!
