Staying in Heleens apartment was great from the first minute. We were greated with a nice snack when we arrived, and Heleen sat down to give us some local advice. The apartment is lovely and well planned, in a nice area outside of the busy and touristy parts of Amsterdam. There are many great restaurants nearby, as well as a local park, and the city is not very far away either. We would highly recommend Heleen and her apartment to anyone looking for an authentic experience in Amsterdam.
