Manuel 4.0 31/07/2017It was a really nice, cozy appartment with a lovely but small room. The walls are hanged with memorabilia, pictures and shelfes full of books, there is a big fish tank and it is ground level, witch is also nice! The toilet walls were patterned with poster and stickers, someone could sit half an hour and wouldn't have read it all. Putting the pants back on in such a tiny toilet can be a hassle though. All in all is the appartment a bit small, but very comfortable! with the included bike you only need about 5 minutes to get to the train station or the city centre and 3 minutes to Westerpark. It is a bit of a quiet neighborhood, so you can enjoy the night in front of the appartment and not get stomped by tourists.
Will definitely come back!
Kind regards,
Manuel -

kleines Amsterdamer Haus, sehr central gelegen. Mit dem Bus nur 2 Stationen von Central Station entfernt. Es war ziemlich ruhig, weil die Besitzer im Urlaub waren. Das Zimmer ist für ein paar Nächte völlig ausreichend und wenn ich wieder alleine reise, werde ich wieder auf dieses Haus zurückgreifen.

If you are and individual coming to a macro conference and cannot afford to pay hundreds of euros in an hotel bedroom just to sleep, this place is a very good option as you'll get a room in the center, very well connected and you'll be able to even get here walking or biking which is perfect if you don't like being force by bus/tram hours.

The room is small but clean. As Helen Said , is not a hotel. The location is good to explore the center. However, I think the room can be improved by removing some of the stuff to create a space .If you evaluate the place on the base of the host , is underpriced but if you evaluate the room based on its space and its facilities ,
Season, and weekdays, it's overpriced. I spent the last two days in a three star hotel with the two third of the price. -

Cozy und farbenfroh - ein Zimmerchen zum Träumen. Für ein paar Tage durchaus geeignet.

Die Wohnung liegt super - in einem ruhigen Wohnviertel, zu Fuß ca. 15-20 min von Amsterdam Centraal entfernt.
Das liebevoll mit Malereien und Bildern gestalltete Zimmer war zwar klein, aber für eine Person ausreichend.
Super war, dass ein Fahrrad gestellt wurde, welches für einen Aufenthalt in Amsterdam nahezu unverzichtbar ist. :-) -

Für mich war es wieder ein Kulturschock, andere Länder andere Sitten. Mich empfing eine freundliche Gastgeberin und eine ziemlich kleine Kammer ohne wirkliches Tageslicht. Wer also sehr genügsam ist und keine Platzangst hat, der wird gute Einblicke in eine holländische Familie vorfinden in einem sehr einfachen Zimmer in der Nähe der City.

Located about a brisk 15 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. Room was good for one person. Two would be quite cozy.

Helen's flat is ideally situated, at 15min from the main station, in a residential area, very quiet, even on Queen's
Day! The room which I occupied was very nicely decorated with numerous drawings made by Helen's daughter. A wonderful
aquarium renders the lounge very pleasant. -

Helen's flat is in a quiet residential neighborhood with convenient bus and tram lines taking about 10 mins to reach Centraal Station. There is a bakery close by and a corner store at the end of the street. The flat is cozy with lots of signs of creative people present: music posters and painting on the walls and a photography dark room next to the bathroom.

Helen's apartment is very well situated in central Amsterdam, on a quiet road. You can easily get from there everywhere by bus, tram or by foot. The apartment is cosy and well furnished, what else would you expect ...

I can't say much about the host unfortunately, because right at the day of my arrival Helen and her family started on to their holiday-trip herself. I'm quite sad that i didn't have the opportunity to meet you, especially after seeing your Flat glooming with so much charm and character and browsing through a few books.
But I wasn't alone in the Appartment eighter, a student from the conservatory of Amsterdam is renting a room there as well. He made my stay there to such an amazing and unforgettable experience that i will be allways thankful to/for him. -

This is a house of art and music. plain beautiful and creative. Sunday noon one daughter was painting and singing Italian songs, the great voice hovering through the light flooded kitchen. Interesting talks about art and light and the creative process.

Very interesting family. I'm thankful for their hospitality and conversations we kept, maybe somewhen they'll accept Bitcoin trough 9flats, which is good for travelers.

Helen and her family were great hosts . She was very responsive via email and I had a very interesting conversation. She and her husband have suggested places to visit and even showed me around.

Helen is an excellent host. She has a charming family and they makes you feel like if you were a relative who comes for a visit. And besides, she had a lot of patience with my poor english ;)

Helen und Ihre Familie haben mich sehr gastfreundlich empfangen. Sie haben mir die Nachbarschaft gezeigt, mir Karten und Infomaterial zur Stadt zur Verfügung gestellt, haben mir wertvolle Tipps für meinen Amsterdam - Aufenthalt gegeben, haben alle meine Fragen zu Stadt und Sprache beantwortet und mich spielend ins Leben integriert. Dank jullie wel!

The family is friendly and makes one feel very welcome. The day before my
departure a very pleasant guided 'promenade' was organized for me and I enjoyed the numerous 'anecdotes' in relation
with the town, its architecture and its story. I can but warmly recommend you this flat for a memorable stay! -
Vincent 5.0 05/01/2012
Helen and her family was on holiday when I visited. Despite my last-minute booking, she was flexible and generous at every step and responded quickly to all of my questions. In her absence, Helen introduced me to her next-door neighbor who was extremely kind and helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with Helen and she will ensure you are well looked after even if she is away during your visit. Thanks Helen!
