I had an extended stay at Michelle's apartment and planned to do day trips to outlying towns and cities. Michelle's apartment was perfect for trips because the GVB bus line 62 is conveniently located at the nearby roundabout. This bus will take you to Lelylaan station at one end of the line and Amstelstation at the other end, with Zuid station in between. From these stations you can get to just about everywhere in the Netherlands. There are more transportation options nearby as well to get you to the metro by walking to Henk Sneevlietweg station. Amsterdam Central and Sloterdijk stations can be reached by tram 2 and bus 15 respectively. I used the 9292 app to book NS Sprinter and Intercity trains. Michelle's apartment is a very walkable neighborhood with groceries, restaurants, pubs and a great home base for an Amsterdam/Netherlands visit.
