I'd like to visit Amsterdam for a period of time greater than 1 month and less than 1 year. What's the best way to do this? I'm open to all sorts of ideas. I don't need fancy housing but it must be safe and clean. Also I like good food but I don't require gourmet.

Please trade cost (air faire, hotels, museum passes etc) amongst other things in your answer. For example maybe I can go for really cheap during month X due to reason Y (of which I'm currently not aware).

where are you traveling from? – Joel Spolsky Sep 8 at 17:12

On craigslist.org you can find some cheap apartments available on nightly/weekly/monthly basis.

If you are not an EU citizen then normally you can only stay for 3 months without securing a long-stay visa before your arrival.

Air fare is cheapest outside of summer months and Christmas season. Sometimes in April/May the weather can be quite nice.

Buy a cheap bike when you arrive (€30 or so for a clunker). That will make all the difference in your Amsterdam experience.

+1 for the downvote. This answer is obviously how you travel from Amsterdam, not how you travel to Amsterdam. – Bob Sep 16 at 5:14
