Kristina was very welcoming and our room in her home was a great place to stay. We enjoyed staying in Amsterdam Noord, a quieter community across the water from the busier, crowded central district. It was nice to begin each day using Kristina's bikes to ride to the ferry to get to the heart of the city. She was incredibly helpful and provided breakfast items and coffee in the room. We highly recommend staying with Kristina, especially if you want to stay outside the crowded city center.
