Marijke is a wonderful, gracious host who is always reachable for anything you might need. Her place is an eclectic mix of modern and vintage, ideally located in a lively area where you will soon feel like a local. The apartment is well-equiped and spacious, with a quiet little enchanted garden in the back -- a lovely place to relax with a glass of wine after a day of exploring beautiful Amsterdam. I really hope to return if she'll let me. ;-)
