We loved this place! It was an EASY 15 minute tram ride from crowded central Amsterdam (and a 30 minute bike ride) to a beautiful quiet place overlooking the water. The two bedrooms were dark enough during the daylight filled summer and the beds are comfortable. The living area is full of style and art but not so precious that our 10 and 12 year old were uncomfortable. Marianne is a great host and had tips about her apartment and surroundings as well as things to do in Amsterdam
