We could not ask for a better host. Ellen is simply amazing. She accommodated to us with the check in time as we would like to check in earlier so that we could put down our bulky baggages and start our day right away. In addition, she told us the location where we could take a free ferry ride to Amsterdam centraal. As we did panicked a little as we bought the 72 hours pass for GVB and not for RNET bus (which includes bus 392 that goes directly to her house), she told us the alternate way to get to her place using buses that were operated by GVB upon reaching her place. Just a little advice for potential tenants, you may want to message Ellen and discuss which is the best option for you as she do provide a card which you can borrow to top up some cash and use the card to travel around Amsterdam. Ellen is also very helpful. She helped us to print some documents which we need for our travels. We are very thankful for that. Do check with Ellen what other services that she provides. For instance, we took up the transport offer from her place to the airport at a cost of 25 Euros. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality Ellen! We strongly recommend to consider renting from her if you are visiting Amsterdam, you won’t regret it.
