I could not have imagined a better home or hostess. Henriette is welcoming and kind and very helpful. She was more than obliging and her hospitality was genuine. The photos do not do the place justice. The room is spacious and comfortable, more so than any hotel, and I could have stayed on that blue couch forever. There are gorgeous floor to ceiling windows that open onto a private balcony. Her neighborhood is extrememly nice and the neighbors are all families so it is very quiet at night. You are steps away from Vondelpark and the Museum and Fashion districts. Plus there is a grocery store, two bakeries, an organic grocery, and many restaurants nearby. I actually liked her neighborhood more than any other part of Amsterdam. There is a bike rental shop just around the corner and two trams that go to the Central area. You are very close to everything without being in the thick of the tourism. And again, Henriette herself and her boyfriend are wonderful and good people. Thank you Henriette!
