We had a lovely stay at Soedish's place. The flat is very conveniently located in a lovely area, about 15-20 minutes walk from Amsterdam centre, with a metro and easy links to the airport too. There is a wide selection of cafes and bars within walking distance and an amazing market which sells food - including local delicacies - and clothing to boot.
Soedish also helpfully provided us with coffee and shampoo, shower products toothpaste etc. There were also maps and lists of things to do in the city which was also handy. Thumbs up!
