Danielle was a great host. I needed a place to stay on very short notice and she accommodated my schedule with flexible check-in and check-out times. She greeted me with coffee and we talked world affairs, as she is very knowledgeable and speaks impeccable English.
If you are traveling solo, I recommend staying with Danielle. Her place is only a 15 minute walk to any of the major areas in Amsterdam, and her neighborhood is charming and quiet.
