23 years girl looking for accommodation in Amsterdam

I am currently studying at stenden university a degree in hospitality management and I'll be doing my internship at the Hilton Amsterdam as of August the third. I'm a rather outspoken person and I love socialising with people from different cultures, that's the reason why I decided to intern her in Amsterdam instead of returning back to South Africa. I'll be doing my internship for a period of eight months, till the end of April. I'm new to Amsterdam so I'm in desperate need of accommodation and hopefully you will be of assistance. I hope to hear from you soon
