Marleens appartment has been perfect for our 4 nights stay in Amsterdam. It's cosy, super bright and furnished very tastefully, exactly as you can see on the pictures. From all 8 (!) windows you have a beautiful look on the water/graachten. The neighbourhood is calm and easy, the tram to the city just around the corner and the city center a nice 10 minute walk along haarlemmerstraat with many cute little shops, bars and cafés. We did not meet Marleen in person but her brother handed over the keys and showed us around the appartment, which is well equiped (WLAN, TV, fully equiped kitchen, etc.) and immediately made us feel at home. Everything was very easy, Marleen always reacted promptly on our questions and was very helpful. We would absolutely come back and recommend this place for a stay in Amsterdam.
