we had a very nice and lively stay at the house of heleen and her family. she gave us a warm welcome and explained us everything we had to know about amsterdam in german. her whole family was very helpful and kind. there was everything we needed. in the room, we had senseo coffee and tea for free. the house was located in a quiet area and very close to the vondelpark. it was 15 minutes to the centre by tram and about 30 minutes by walking. we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to everybody, who loves a good cappuccino :)
