Mijef is such a wonderful host. Her home is in a quiet, non-touristy area, but close to everything. We could get to FoodHallen, Jordaan, Centrum, and the main drag of the museums in a 15 minute walk at most. Mijef has great tips for places in the area and pools recommendations from previous guests so that you'll have a stack of references when you arrive. And there are plenty of grocery stores and amazing restaurants right around the corner from her space so you can have a good night even close to home if you want!
The loft bed is pretty magical to wake up in, as it sits against the window to the beautiful garden. Mijef has three beautiful cats but she makes sure to keep them in the backyard or up in her space above. As a person with intense cat allergies, I'm incredibly impressed that I never had to take my medication. The place is spotless and has no dander from her cats. We got the best of both worlds (cute cats but not allergic reaction haha). There are racks in the courtyard outside her apartment so we were able to rent bikes and keep them safely overnight next to the space.
Mijef's communication was great. She gave us her phone number right when we arrived so we could keep in touch with any questions. She gave us all the privacy we needed but was very sweet to check in with us before we left.
