Ellen is an amazing host, she had great communication and was so helpful in suggesting the best places to eat and tips on being a tourist in Amsterdam. Her place is just, wow. In the heart of the 'nine streets' shopping district and so close to so many major sites. Right on the canals, it was the perfect place to come home to after a long day exploring. I would have to say it was easily the best AirBNB experience I've had, and don't think it will ever be topped.
