Staying at Ilana’s place was so fantastic!! I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Amsterdam. The space was perfect and Ilana added so many little thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. She left snacks and drinks, soap and shampoo, plates and utensils - everything you could need. The TV offered Netflix too. The bed was comfortable and the room was super spacious. The shower is in the room and there is a private toilet across the hall; this doesn’t feel like a shared space. The only “shared” part of it is that you share an entrance with the hosts.
The neighbourhood is a bit outside of the city, but we loved the area. We rented bikes making it easy to get anywhere we needed to go. The train station is also around the corner if you prefer that. The restaurants in the area were great! We had so many great meals at restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. Ilana also made some great restaurant suggestions too!
Overall, loved our 5 nights here and can’t wait to stay there again.
