Helga's apartment is a place to stay in Amsterdam.
Ii is located in a quiet suburb near the Olympic stadion which means it takes a while to get to the centre of the city. However, tram and metro stations are at a stone's throw (5 mins of walking) and by a tram, you can get to the centre in 20 minutes. Aiport is very close, too (metro + train 25 mins). If you walk, you can reach the central area in around 45 minutes - we did it one day and would recommend to anyone. Vondelpark is a beautiful park to relax in. The area where Helga and her husband's houseboat is located is very quiet which makes it an ideal tranquil get-away location.
The apartment itself is a part of Helga and her husband's houseboat, but it has got a separate entrance door. It is very clean and neat, everything prepared as advertised. Even some refreshment was ready for us in the fridge upon arrival which was really nice. You can also prepare tea and coffee. The beds are very comfy (so much that they ruined our plans to explore the city of Amsterdam from early mornings as we simply could not get enough of the sleep! ;-))) There are no disturbing noises from around, of course, you can hear ther is someone living next to you and some traffic, but it is on a very low level.
It was very interesting for us to spend some time on a houseboat and would recommend it to anyone seeking an ultimate Dutch experience ;-)
