Maartje's place is just as pictured- an adorable apartment in a great location. Very convenient to everything yet in a quiet neighborhood. The view of the canal is great, unfortunately there is some construction going on right now, but that is just Amsterdam. Still lovely to be on the canal, and the construction noise was only during the day. There are 2 great places to get coffee just downstairs, and a wonderful pancake restaurant (Mooks- avocado pancakes!) and grocery store within a few steps.
The apartment is clean and has everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. Elevator is an added bonus so you don't have to haul your bags up 5 flights of stairs.
I didn't get to meet Maartje, but she was wonderful to communicate with, no issues at all. Her adorable mother met me at the apartment to check me in at a time that was convenient for me- much appreciated!
A very comfortable and easy stay. Thank you Maartje!
