Universiteit van Amsterdam (UVA)

Trust me Guys, in Amsterdam you do not have to look for a nice palce to have a coffe, lunch or fancy dinner. You won't have any porblems with exporing the cultural side of the city or night life scene. It is very relaxed and entertainment driven city, so please do not forget what you coming here for:)

The UvA Dormitory at Sarphatistraat 145 is within 5 min walking distance from the Economics Faculty buildings and right above the super market with extended opening hours. The whole area is very picturesque. You can relax in the Osterpark, go to the Windmill or lay at the bank of canals surrounding the place. Sarphatistraat is rather peaceful part of the city located next to the relaxed Plantage district where one can find the Amsterdam ZOO and Botanical Garden with cozy restaurants and cafes. It is worth to mention that Administration of the Dormitory "De Key" provided tenants with all washing equipment free of charge. The kitchen in the apartments is fully equipped. And if you are planning to use palnes while in Amsterdam you will soon discover that to get to the Schiphol airport simply take the subway line to the Wespeerplein Station (10 min within walking distance from the Dormitory). You will also Highly Recommended!

As you will soon discover everybody commutes on the bike in Amsterdam. You can get one from EURO 60. Public transportation in the downtown area is slow and rather inefficient and very expensive in comparison to biking. You cannot avoid public transportation however when getting to the airport or IKEA store.
