We had an awesome time at Manja's! She coordinated with us really well, then was nice enough to meet us at the train station. Her place had everything we need - space, a comfortable bed, a nice couch, a good kitchen, laundry. A comfy place to live. Even more important for us was the neighborhood. It was lively and diverse and full of happy families and full of even more delicious food. Definitely a great retreat away from the heavy tourism of central Amsterdam. I recommend staying here for sure!
