Ellen's place is located in a quaint and nice Dutch neighborhood, only a 15-20 min bus ride (Bus 35) + 1 metro stop away (Noordepark) from Amsterdam Central station. The room was clean and had all the necessary equipment (& more like a microwave, utensils, coffee & tea) for a comfortable stay. It is located upstairs so I would recommend it to travellers who are able to carry their luggage up about 10-15 steps.
