Janneke's apartment was like the pictures, very clean with a welcoming note for us. We got the keys to the apartment from a very friendly neighbour. The neighbourhood was just like Janneke had described it, as picturesque as you can get, with the most beautiful park that we walked through to get to the metro. It was between 5 to 10 minutes walk. The neighbourhood was clean, safe and friendly. We agreed to look after the cat, and she was so friendly, it quickly felt like our own.
There is also a very short walk to a small convenience store (Lido), and a little longer walk to a super marked (AH). Please note that none of these stores accept Visa, which was a bit frustrating for us; remember to have cash on you. There is also a bus stop very close, just 2 minutes walk.
In the apartment, everything we needed was provided, and every time I wanted to send Janneke a question, I found that it was already answered in the little guide provided. I will recommend Jannekes lovely place to anyone who needs a place to call home in Amsterdam for a week or so.
