We had a wonderful stay at Rene and Ellen's place. They were most welcoming and went out of their way to accomodate our early arrival even though they had guests checking out that day. Their place is away from the central city which was lovely to return to after a busy day of sightseeing. It was only a short walk to the bus stop or a 20 minute stroll along the picturesque canal to the free ferry across to Amsterdam central station. If arriving by car there was free parking outside the door. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay I would highly recommend staying here. The bed was super comfortable and thank you Rene and Ellen for the extras you kindly left in the fridge for us.
