Maria is a wonderful host and her house is just as described. It's sits adjacent to one of Amsterdam's many canals. There are picturesque house boats in the canals that give you thoughts of how it would be living on water. Maria's house is a short walk from the Central Train terminal and minutes from everything else. Maria thinks over everything. We really appreciated her "briefing" of all that Amsterdam has to offer. Unfortunately my wife and I were pretty exhausted from adventures and arrive from to be very receptive to everything, but she provided maps and notes for us to study at our leisure. The room was more then adequate. The shower, restroom and our suite were very well maintained. The microwave and mini-refrigerator was a great addition to the room for all our goodies. The bed was a dream; very comfortable and more then enough space for my wife and I. We would definitely recommend Maria and would enjoy revisiting.
