The local Dappermarkt (here) is reasonably priced and has a good selection of both food and non-food.

Getting around

the location is 20-30 minutes walk from Amsterdam city centre.

Tram 14 leaves from Borneostraat and goes to the city centre (Waterlooplein, Rembrandtsplein, Dam, Jordaan). The stop "Zeeburgerdijk" is the zone limit, why it is more expensive to board the tram at Javaplein.

Bus 22 from Javaplein goes directly to the Central Station.

Tickets for public transportation can be bought when boarding. It is however cheaper to buy a Strippenkaart in advance. Strippenkaarts can be bought from the reception of the StayOkay youth hostel and most newspaper stands.

On Timorplein, next to the StudioK cinema, it is possible to rent bikes.

Recreation

Just around the corner you have the StudioK art cinema. All foreign movies are with Dutch subtitles (no dubbing). You can see the programme at their website

Laundry

There is no laundry machine in the house. It is possible to do laundry at StayOkay, tokens can be bought from the reception.

When leaving

Please leave the place clean and tidy. If you leave in ordinary office hours, please drop by the IIRE office with your used beddings and the key. If nobody is around, please leave beddings and the keys visible in the room.
