maarten's place is amazing! having lived in amsterdam for a few years, I've never seen a place like this. first of all everything is super well designed and put together in a special way. the bed is comfy, the shower room is spacious, the living room is inviting and relaxing, connected with a stylish open kitchen. few houses in amsterdam have the luxury of an outside space like this one has, with a magnific garden, very well maintained. the street is super quiet and very cute. the neighbourhood is central enough to enjoy most of amsterdam while away enough from the busy historic downtown. plenished with awesome little cafes, restaurants and shops. we had a great time there and would definitely come back! maarten was an great host too,super easy going, clear and communicative.
