Ido's home was fantastic. I travelled there with 4 of my friends (all in our late twenties). The home provided plenty of space for five adults and was only a 15-20 min tram ride to centraal station and where all the action is.
Upon our arrival Ido provided a small handout with a map of the nearby area. She highlighted nearby restaurants and her own personal recommendations. Very useful.
There are plenty of parks nearby with all the amenities needed including cafes, restaurants, two supermarkets and a bike rental shop. I highly recommend renting a bike to explore the nearby area, especially an afternoon in the park.
I would most definitely stay in Ido's place again and would refer any friends to the location as well.
