Babette was an absolute delight. She made us feel right at home and welcomed us upon our arrival. She also made sure to check in on us everyday to ensure that we were doing great. The room we stayed in was at the basement ( below her house). It was approximately 10-15 minutes away from Amsterdam Central station by foot. The neighborhood was safe and quiet and easily accessible. Babette also made the effort to provide us with hot water and tea bags every morning. This was a kind and lovely gesture.
