My two young sons and I stayed at Nienke's place for two nights. We were greeted by her daughter and shown to the lovely attic space (beautiful, high ceilings with a sparkling clean bathroom and separate sitting room for breakfast). I was able to let the kids sleep in and do work in the other space while sipping a fresh cappuccino from the cute machine. (One note: if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs or a sound machine if you are going to sleep in because the normal activities of the family do drift up into the attic space. Luckily, my kids sleep deeply, and the relaxed feeling of the house meant I didn't feel so worried about being absolutely silent either.) There is a playground a block away, a supermarket across the street, and it's about a 15-20 minute slow walk (with small ones) to the free ferry into main Amsterdam. A very family, friendly location. Nienke is a lovely person. She let us borrow a charger because mine didn't work, and was ready to help at any moment. The kids loved the big bath and peeking at the animals on the first floor (a bunny and two guinea pigs). The little fridge in the attic was stocked with milk, yogurt, butter, ham, cheese and some fruit. We found warm rolls sitting on the table both mornings!
