Katarina is one of the kindest and most generous and easy-going hosts. She baked me a quiche and we had a great conversation over dinner on my first day. She was always thoughtful and helpful, offering chocolates and fresh orange juice or smoothies; took me to the supermarket; offered to take me on a tour of Amsterdam. She also bought me a Dutch children's book about a girl named Lena (my name), which was so touching! She also took me to the airport on my last day. The apartment is very clean and the room is very private w/ a fridge, coffee machine and sink. Katarina had put bowl of fruits and stroopwafels in the room as a gift. The location was perfect for me to get to a program I was doing in Westerpark.
