Vibeke was a wonderful hostess. Not only was she very friendly and had lots of advice on what I could do during my stay in Amsterdam, but she even discounted the price of my stay due to construction work being done on the house and making a bit of noise during my stay. I never would have expected such a kind gesture and I was so impressed by her hospitality. She was very open about me coming to her with questions and concerns during my stay and I really appreciated that. She offered me her bike to use to get around but I did not feel comfortable riding it just because it was a bit big for my small stature. I recommend to anyone who is able to use her bike or rent one because it would be much easier to get around that way. I walked most places which was not bad because the weather was beautiful, but it definitely did take a little while to get into town on foot. Vibeke's home was near public transportation, I was just making the choice to save money and get some exercise. Definitely a positive experience, and much cozier than a hostel, for a very decent price!
