My visit to Amsterdam was certainly enhanced by my stay in Mirjam's home. It was spacious, comfortable and accurately described. Mirjam greeted me early in fact and clearly presented all the pertinent information about her home and the surrounding area. It is less than a 15 minute walk to the metro and public transportation. And it is well located for walking back from the city center and various museums which I did almost daily. There are also convenient shopping areas and restaurants nearby. I found Mirjam's home to be a nice refuge at the end of a long tourist day.
