Heleen's apartment at De Pijp neighborhood of Amsterdam is large, well lit and airy, beautifully decorated, and socked with all the amenities that made our stay perfect.
The place has 2 bedroom with queen-size beds and a nice sleeper-sofa in the living room. A modern kitchen, a large dinning table and 2 small balconies (one overlooking the Amstel River), a clean bathroom with tub, shower and washer/drier and a separated toilet.
It is located within a short walking from tram and bus line that reach all the major attractions in Amsterdam within 20 minutes. Or you can walk to Rembrandtplain and the Flower market in 20 minutes and to Dam square or the Rijksmuseum in 30.
There are many nice restaurants and coffee shops in the area and plenty of stores and supermarkets around. The neighborhood feels very safe, with children playing on the street and in the nearby park.
Heleen is a grate host. She is patient, easy to communicate with and fun to have a conversation with. She helped us with all our needs constantly throughout the visit and made sure we feel VERY welcomed and at home.
This place was a hidden treasure for us in the heart of Amsterdam.
