WARNING: The review below contains nothing but glowing praise for Heleen's apartment.

Our family of four had the pleasure of staying at Heleen's apartment on our recent trip to Amsterdam. Prior to our arrival, Heleen was very responsive and helpful.

Heleen was waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived and we enjoyed chatting with her as she showed us around the apartment and made some recommendations about the city. She had some delicious welcome treats for us and even dropped off a fresh box of hagelslag for our children to enjoy on their breakfast toast :) She encouraged us to make ourselves at home and to use whatever we wanted in the kitchen.

Heleen's apartment is located on a calm and quiet street, but is around the corner from great restaurants, markets and shops, as well as a quarter-block from the Amstel River. The apartment looks just as it does in the photos and is so beautiful! The apartment is flooded with natural light with charming art and decorative details throughout (I loved the lighting in the separate toilet and the coat rack in the entry). If I were to live in Amsterdam, I would love to have an apartment like Heleen's.

The apartment is very comfortable and well-equipped with a great bathroom, kitchen, washer/dryer, and fast WiFi. It was very easy for us to get to the apartment on the tram.

Overall, Heleen is a wonderful host and her apartment is a wonderful place to stay -- I hope to have the opportunity to stay again!
