Me and my two sons were very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay at Ifigenia's house. She provided excellent directions to her house from Schipol airport - bus 197 last stop for 5 Euro and a short walk. Everything was in walking distance for us - we enjoy walking. We arrived in the early morning and Ifigenia let us store our bags at the house until check in which we greatly appreciated. The house is in a great neighborhood with excellent restaurants close by and a grocery store too. We were away from the tourists and crowds which is exactly what we were looking for. Ifigenia gave us some excellent tips on restaurants and local treats to try as well as being a very thoughtful host. The Anne Frank museum was very close by. I didn't book far in advance so we were able to walk down there one evening and waited in the queue then a short walk back to the house after the tour. I recommend the 2 1/2. Walking tour also which ends at the Anne Frank house close to the house also. Finally I want to add that our place was extremely clean which was very important to me. There was plenty of coffee, tea and some cookies and cake which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend and return to Ifigenia's home.
