It was such a lovely experience staying with Marielle. The apartment is exactly as per the photos; great lounge, bathroom and bedroom with kitchenette. The location is superb! It is extremely central and safe. Though I was on holiday with my partner, it's good to note that I'd would feel very comfortable walking back here at night alone as a single female. It is just a short walk to everything and the bike rental place Marielle recommends was fantastic too (economical, convenient location and good bikes)!

In terms of cleanliness, you couldn't fault the standard! The apartment was spotless. The beds are so comfortable you will think you're sleeping on clouds. The light streams into the apartment in the morning through the wonderful windows. It's not direct sun so it doesn't blind you and there are roller blinds if you want to block it out. We loved the light and Marielle's book of suggestions. It was our first time in Amsterdam and we were so glad we picked this listing! Would seriously recommend this place to my closest friends and family. Five stars!
