  We arrived around 5:30 p.m. and only had a very short overnight stay to catch a connecting flight early the next morning. We had the opportunity to talk to Mieke for a few minutes. She was a pleasant and very helpful lady, giving us all the infos and instructions we needed. The location is very convenient to get from and to Schiphol Airport. The room we had was clean and the bed comfortable. Try not to bring big, heavy suitcases as there are a few stairs to climb.

  Me and my family had stayed at Mieke's house for 2 nights. Mieke was very warm and helpful host and gave us lots of information to move around the city. The house is exactly as described in the listing. The rooms were very neat and clean and nicely decorated. Her house is in walking distance from the metro & tram station. The city center is just 15 min by tram. Overall we had a wonderful stay at Mieke's house and would definetly come back again.

  Mieke was a wonderful host. She had so much information for us and went well out of her way to be as helpful as she could. She gave us extremely clear directions to arrive at her house from the airport. She was there to meet us and gave us a warm welcome. The room was comfortable and clean. Mieke is truly one of the kindest, most hospitable people we have ever met. She continues to help us and be a great source of information as we have just moved to Amsterdam. She gives a great introduction to Amsterdam and I highly recommend staying with her if give the opportunity!

  Mieke was a very welcoming host, also spending a lot of time before our trip finding out useful information for us. We stayed during Queen's Day and so we certainly needed the help with the public transport system! Despite being busy she still had time for a chat with us. The bed was comfy and cosy in a typical Amsterdam style house. She also has a very tame and friendly cat :)

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mieke's home! The place was close to a bus stop which provided easy access to the various places of interest in Amsterdam. Mieke provided very clear instructions to get to her place and was very happy to provide any further information you require to get around Amsterdam. The room and bathroom we used were clean. We had a good chat with Mieke over a warm cup of tea in her cosy kitchen. Mieke's cat was also such a darling! Would definitely stay with Mieke again the next time I return to Amsterdam! She definitely made my stay in Amsterdam memorable :)

  me and my friend were staying at Mieke for 4 nights and i should say that we had amazing time there! the room was really very cosy and clean with a big bed, big mirror and next to the bathroom. there's a big terrace on the same floor where you can enjoy a cup of tea, listening to the birds singing in the yard. the street is very quiet and the whole area is nice (i woke up only once at night because of the perfect sound of the rain outside). and it takes only 40 min walking to the city center through Vondelpark (which was also a perfect place to stroll). Mieke is a wonderful host - she gave us maps of Amsterdam, a guide book and she also managed our trip to Keukenhof and Zaanse Schans (she helped us with combined tickets to museums and buses which turned out to be much cheaper than we've expected!). Mieke is an easy-going and down to earth woman who made our stay very warm! and don't forget about her lovely and friendly, though a bit sly cat, especially when the slices of ham or a glass of milk are not far away from her :)

  AMAZING! Mieke is an awesome host. Greets you with a nice hot cup of coffee, gives you a tour of the house, proved's you with the key to the house and takes the time to sit down with you to give you an idea of where things are and how to get around Amsterdam. She also has a book waiting for you in your room with EVERYTHING you could possibly need to know about Amsterdam. The house is in an amazing location just 25-30min from the airport and 10-15min tram or bus ride from the centre of Amsterdam. The room is cozy, warm and clean. The bed is everything you want, extremely comfortable. Anne Freak house is a must if you visiting Amsterdam. Just make sure your there early because the line-up is unreal. Cost is only 9 euro per person. Heineken experience is also fantastic. For only 17 euros per person you get a GREAT tour with everything you need to know about the beer, a boat ride, 3 free beers (good size) and a little gift for stopping by.

  We stayed at Mieke's house just for one night but we wish we would stay more, room was clean and perfect location-easy to find it, easy to get there. Mieke has a lot of useful information about Amsterdam.

  Mieke is very helpful, giving good information and advice for anyone new to Amsterdam. Her place is very convenient both for the airport and the centre of Amsterdam. Her room was comfortable, bathroom next to it and wifi fast. Will book again!

  We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of amsterdam. me and my girlfriend both enjoy travelling and amsterdam is deffinitely one of the few places you could visit again and again. Miekes room is self explained in the title, a great cosy sanctuary just outside of the city with both easy accessibility to and from the airport and to the city centre. We chose to venture on bycicles and although intimidating at first the system in amsterdam is fantastic and we were suprised how drivers percieved bikers, it appears the cyclist gets alot of respect in amsterdam much more so than the UK, The cycling lanes are brilliant making cycling by far the best way of travelling around amsterdam, the only tricky part is the junctions with lots of cars cyclists and trams on the roads, the lights are your best friend on these occurences. We also visited many of the museums on offer, and trained kickboxing being a joint interest of ours. As for Mieke you could not ask for a more welcoming and helpful host. She goes out of her way to aid your trip and it was a pleasure meeting her. We stayed for 9 days so being allowed to use the kitchen was also a big plus (eating out in amsterdam is expensive). We did however dine in amsterdam as well, and had an incredible sushi at sumo. All you can eat $26 and its a fantastic system just order what ever you want off the menu and they bring it to you once your finished order more, deffinitely a recommended culinary experience. We hope to return to Amsterdam and have both said we would stay at Miekes again! She really helped us explore all the aspects we wanted to of amsterdam.

  First time we used airbnb and it was a wonderful experience all 3 nights. It was very easy to book and make the arrangements and Mieke followed-up quickly after booking the room and again leading up to our trip. The experience with Mieke could not have been better. She is a wonderful hostess and her place was very comfortable, especially the beds. She was very accommodating especially with our luggage and served as a personal tourist information center. She had information about what to do in Amsterdam and provided welcome tips on getting discounted tickets to performances and the best time to visit museums. We strongly recommend Mieke and her lovely accommodations and we would definitively stay at her place again. Only one thing would have made things even better, if each of us had a key. .

  Mieke greeted us with a warm welcome and a warm cup of tea while chatting with us about our plans for our time in Amsterdam. She is a very sweet lady that made us feel completely comfortable in her home. Mieke was also very easy to reach with any questions that we had before and during the trip and even went above and beyond by making reservations for us at a popular restaurant that we wanted to try out. We were in Amsterdam during Queen's Day, which meant that we spent a lot of time out enjoying the activities and doing some shopping in the flea markets throughout the city. We shared our shopping finds with Mieke and she shared hers with us-we had a blast. I would say that the room is definitely cozy, but it was plenty of room for the two of us, with two large suitcases. The little things like fresh towels and water in our room made feel well taken care of. Thanks for everything, Mieke!

  My girlfriend and I came for an overnight stay in Amsterdam, and after I contacted Mieke, she couldn't have been more helpful and keen to make our short stay as pleasant as possible. Mieke sent me plenty of very useful information in advance - so finding her was very easy indeed from the Schipol. She had also sent plenty of information about travel and things to do in Amsterdam, and how to access booking those activities online. When we met, she was incredibly nice and friendly. Our room was very comfortable and the (shared) bathroom clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend a stay at Mieke's place, and it is only a few minutes bus/tram from beautiful central Amsterdam. Oh and do make friends with her cat 'Sipi', who is quite a character and very keen on visitors! :)

  The room is well placed. Day-night trams and buses take you easly everywhere. The zone is calm with cheap restaurants and supermarkets just around the corner. Mieke is a kind and dicreet woman.

  I liked Mieke's cabin in the park in Languedoc, The cabin is fully serviced, cosy and private though WiF is extra. which was unexpected but worked perfectly once connected. It is isolated so independent transport is essential but that's the idea of choosing this cabin in this park in this region of southern France because touring the area is fantastic. The whole experience was a wonderful adventure made very much easier with Mieke's directions and help.

  Our stay at Mieke's was just great! Unfortunately we stayed there only three days, but we had a lot of fun! Mieke is very nice, friendly and helpful. The room was confy and clean, and the house is in a quiet area, with a lot of facilities near and with trams and buses for the city center and the airport just in front of it! Sooner or later we'll definitely come back! :)

  We chose Mieke's place to stay in Amsterdam because she had all those reviews saying how helpful and nice she was and we were not disappointed ! Just after we made the reservation she sent us lots of information about Amsterdam, wich was nice to prepare the trip. Once we got to her house she explained us everything we had to know about Amsterdam and was pleased to answer all our questions. She was always there for a little chat and also gave us some privacy when we were tired. The house is very nice, the kitchen is well equiped and you can make your own food if you don't want to go to the restaurant twice a day. The room was small but perfectly clean and so was the bathroom. The city center is 20 minutes away by tram and the Vondelpark is only 10 min by feet. We really felt home at Mieke's and it was much better than staying in a hotel to discover the city ! Hope we can come back some day !

  I enjoyed my stay in Mieke's home very much. I found that the facilities are good and maintenance of her house are of a high standard. The location is near to Schipol airport but ideally suited to shops while access to the city is easy by bus or tram and Mieke seems always happy to lend support and offer excellent advice and how to make the most of this opportunity of a relaxed and trusting environment which made my stay in Amsterdam a very positive one.
