Babette and her family are excellent hosts. Communicating with her is easy, informative, and endlessly helpful in making you feel right at home in Amsterdam. There is not shortage of travel tips and recommendations here. I felt like a king with the large bed and rain shower head. The room is cozy and warm even when the weather can be cold and wet--a literal sanctuary from the elements, and a great place to come home to after a long day exploring A'dam.
