My Mom and I and another friend stayed at Ellie and Bertram’s place and were so very happy. The cleanliness, location and warm welcome were above and beyond. We received treats when we arrived that made our day! It was winter, but we had sufficient heat. Sunny place. It is just like the photos. Ellie and Bertram live downstairs and their young grandchildren live upstairs. You can hear the children for a little bit, but not long and was not a deal breaker. If any thing you feel like your in a real home with really nice people. I found the location to be great and walkable to anywhere. The tram is nearby if you choose. The place is very clean, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. They will help you with any suggestions of places to go. If I need to get a place in Amsterdam Again I am definitely calling Ellie and Bertram again!
