Hillegonda's AirBnB was perfect for our visit to Amsterdam. We were visiting family living in Amsterdam Noord plus site-seeing with friends staying at the Holiday Inn down the way. The location was great: <10 min walk to metro, 5 min bike to metro or free passenger ferry that takes you into central Amsterdam. Also, there were lovely bakeries, a cafe, two restaurants, pharmacy, an ice cream parlor and two large parks around the corner plus one of Amsterdam's nicest groceries (Jumbo) within a 5 min bike ride. We used the bikes Hillegonda provided every day: loved them, though the locking mechanisms are different compared to the States, it was easy to figure them out. The studio apartment had everything we needed in an efficient package: plenty of storage cabinets for clothing, the most comfortable bed we had on our 2-week Europe travels, shades for the windows, and a sweet little bathroom and kitchen (note: size is typical for European apartments or a hotel but smaller than typical U.S. equivalents). Finally, Hillegonda herself was very friendly and accommodating. She even prepared a typical Dutch breakfast for us one day. We will definitely be back and our local family member was sufficiently impressed compared to other AirBnB's they've seen that they will recommend Hillegonda to other visiting friends and family. Highly recommended. Thank you, Hillegonda!
