We loved staying at Maarten's place! The apartment is spacious and comfortable, it is located in Pijp, a vibrant, lively Amsterdam's "Latin Quarter", and is close to everything: museums, the center of the city, and just around the corner from the market place. There are amazing eateries, bars and restaurants in the area, and the supermarket is just around the corner. Maarten is a great host, very responsible and accommodating in every way possible. He made sure that we felt at home, and even helped us with our heavy luggage. Can't recommend his place enough, and will definitely be back!
