We absolutely loved staying at Mark's place and will absolutely look to stay with him again should we come back to Amsterdam (and I hope we do!).
The apartment was perfect - clean, cozy, spacious, and quiet. It was far enough off the main roadways that we had our privacy from the city, but a quick 5 minute walk to the canals and 10 minute walk from everywhere else we needed to be.
Upon check in, we were given a map, directions, and recommendations for the best places to go - all of which we used and checked out! We also learned a ton about the local culture from our conversation upon check in, which was so interesting and put our experience over the top.
As a host, Mark was phenomenal - he was communicative prior to check in and flexible during our stay. He even checked in with us mid-stay which was so appreciated. Mark - thank you!
I highly recommend Mark's place during your stay!
