"Pros: It was a luxurious stay for a solo traveler, with a comfortable bed and amazing shower. The decor made it feel like a home away from home. It’s in a great location in the center of town too." ~Shalvin
"Pros: Aelita's studio -- part of her house -- was a comfortable base in Den Burg for a few days on Texel. Aelita herself is really warm and friendly and responds quickly to any questions. After checking out, we could leave our bags for the day.
The studio is really two rooms that run into each other, with a bathroom attached. The bathroom was very clean, with modern fittings, and plenty of rails and hooks to hang towels/clothes/etc. This extra care for the fittings also extends to the bedroom: there are led reading lamps and several shelves next to each bed, plus a wardrobe for clothes. I also appreciated the box of tissues provided.
The kitchen has all you need for simple meals, including salt and pepper. No stove, just a microwave. Various teabags and a coffee machine.
In 5-10 minutes' walk you are in the centre of den Burg with its cafes, shops and museum. Then 10-15 mins walking takes you to the main bus stop for buses to the ferry or de Koog/Ecomare.
Cons: Only very small things. There were crumbs on the eating table and the placemats were slightly sticky. The room can also be very warm unless you close the blinds during the afternoon. That would make it really cosy in colder months, though!" ~Km
"Pros: I’m so glad I changed my original booking to stay at Homestay Texel! The location is perfect for exploring the island by bike. The accommodation was tidy and clean and matched the description. Last but not least, Aelita is such a warm and welcoming host, which made the stay even more enjoyable. I’d definitely book again!
Cons: Just a small note: the sink area in the bathroom, being under the roof, might feel a bit tight for someone tall and/or broad." ~Polina
