Evelina's flat is very airy and light, with many, large windows, overlooking a lovely canal complete with swans. It was spotlessly clean, with everything one could possibly need in the flat. Evelina herself was out of town, but the friend that let me in was charm personified and could not have been more helpful.
The area also had every kind of shop nearby. Kinker street is across the canal, and is one of the main tram routes. I rented a bicycle from Kinker bicycles, which was at the flat's end of Kinker street 5 minutes' walk away. Just remember that many places in Holland still prefer cash or their own Maestro cards to foreign credit cards.
Kinker street is a very good navigation point to have, as it runs parallel to Vondelpark back up towards the city centre. If you get lost, which I did a few times, just get to Kinker street and you'll be able to find your way to the flat.
I would recommend renting this flat very highly.
