My stay at Heleen's apartment was wonderful! My flight was unexpectedly delayed and my friend and I arrived a bit late, but despite that, the welcome we received was exceptionally warm. The room was clean and cozy, and Heleen had given us some extra blankets just in case we got cold. She also pointed us in the direction of a delicious local restaurant for dinner that evening and helped us orient ourselves in the city. While the apartment is located about a 20-25 minute walk from the "touristy" center of Amsterdam, if you like to walk around, get a bit lost, and see a more everyday side of the city, it is a great place to stay and Heleen is a fantastic host. Thank you so much for a short but fun stay in Amsterdam!
