Linda's apartment is absolutely the best. This is very comfortable place that has all you need. There is a nice full-equipment kitchen, a bathroom with with hot shower and washing machine, and a large living room which was my favourite. And hammock, don't forget it. You'll love this hammock, I promise :) Window view is amazing.
Plantage is really nice neighbourhood, very clean and green. And we have met with a lot of birds :) By the way, Artis Zoo is five minute walking from this place. As well as Botanicus Hortus, Resistance and Naval Museums. It's very easy to reach Portuguese Synagogue, Central Station and Dam Square from the apartment too. If you need to visit Amsterdam ArenA use Metro il takes about 15-20 minutes.
Albert Heijn store is really close to the building and you can buy here all the food that you need.
