Maria's place was fantastic -- excellent location, in a very pretty part of the city, close to tram and bus, and also a quick and easy walk to restaurants and museums and shops. Maria was a wonderful host. She took the time to give us tips about places to visit in Amsterdam and made a lovely breakfast for us every day. She even took the time to get gluten free bread to accommodate my daughter's allergy. Such a lovely and thoughtful person! We would absolutely return to Maria's place and highly recommend it to others!
