Mark responded quickly to our initial contact, and continued to be very friendly and responsive throughout the whole process. When we arrived at the apartment, he graciously welcomed us in and showed us around. He was always available by email, but pretty much left us on our own once we were moved in, which was great for us.

The apartment is clean, light and airy, and has been updated recently. The kitchen is well-stocked with cookware, utensils and appliances, and the bed is very comfortable. But perhaps most surprising to us was how quiet it was. Even with neighbors on all sides, we were able to sleep with windows open and not hear a thing. This may be because it's in an area with few tourists.

It's a good location for what we wanted -- close to Rembrandt Park for walking and jogging, grocery stores nearby, and just a short walk to tram and bus stops. There is even a bike shop in the neighborhood that rents bikes. Mark has put together a very helpful notebook describing restaurants, shops, things to do and see, and how to get around -- we used this a lot.

All in all a great experience - we would certainly go back here again.
