I just found out I won a scholarship for a month-long research trip to Amsterdam (yay me). I'm planning to go in January or February 2007 and need help with 2 things: 1- Cheap, central, decent accomadations. My wife will be going with, so we need a private room and bathroom. A private room in a hostel would be fine. A private house would be better. I'm aware of craigslist amsterdam, but wonder if their are other resources/networks I could tap. 2- I know I don't have time to actually learn the language, but would like to pick up the basic getting around, ordering food stuff, and do not have the time or money to take formal classes. What good internet resources could help me learn basic dutch?

I'm flying into Amsterdam on an overnight flight, and have an appointment later in the afternoon. I need to crash somewhere for a few hours. I'm not flying first class, so the business lounge is out. Anyone have ideas where to grab a few hours sleep in Amsterdam without being bothered? (please, no marijuana jokes) For example, there's a place in New York where workers can nap for a half hour...
