We had a lovely stay at Martin's place. He was very accommodating and let us check-in early. It was so nice to know that he was so close, in case we had any issues. The apartment was modern, clean and quite charming. A great location! The biggest bonus was the deck that looks over private backyards of homes that are in a converted church and school. Beautiful during the day and even more so at night since it is nicely lit. The neighborhood is very quite and wonderful for sleeping. We would hands-down recommend this location to anyone visiting Amsterdam!
