Communication with Martijn was great and fast. He responded immediately to all our questions and accommodated us with storing our luggage in AM before we could check in. His studio is in a good location in the middle of De Pijp, close to a lot of local good restaurants, supermarket, and not far from the center ! We especially appreciated that we could use Martijn's bicycles for free! We biked everywhere and even out of town to Zandam - Zaanse Schans Windmills. The room itself was extremely clean, which we liked a lot, but rather small, just a bed and a night table, fridge, coffee maker, and a small closet, but everything exactly as shown on the pics and what we expected. Room is nicely bright with big window and just perfect size for one or two people, who want to spend the whole day out. Beds and bedding were clean and very comfortable - we slept well. The shower had a great consistent big stream of hot water. The shower and towels were small for American standards, where everything is big, but hey you are in Europe and things are smaller here, so not a problem for us. Martijn was really friendly and always there to help if we got any questions. He even put fresh flowers, sweats and beer for us in the room. Would totally recommend to anyone who wants to stay and does not expect a big luxury room. After-all most hotel rooms in Amsterdam are really small. Extra cups for coffee (besides the glasses) would be nice. Thank you Martijn. We had a great time in Amsterdam and would stay at your place again.
