We spent 5 days in Marijke's home and couldn't have been more pleased. I was met at the apartment by Lauressa and she was very helpful with information about the major points of interest. She even came back to the apartment that first night to show me how to (safely) use the oven since I'm not familiar with gas ovens. The Ten Katestraat tram stop was just a block away so it was very easy getting into downtown. Even if you wanted to walk, the trip to downtown was not bad at all. There was also a grocery store 2 blocks away which was very helpful. There are 2 flights of stairs to climb so just be prepared if you have lots of luggage. Luckily, I only had 1 bag. The apartment itself was a pleasant surprise. The pictures do not do it justice. The bed was amazing and the table was much bigger than I was expecting. The only difficulty I had was trying to figure out the correct train to take from the airport to catch the tram to the Ten Katestraat stop. It's not quite as easy to figure out as other public transportation systems. I would suggest just asking one of the train employees. Also, after reading other reviews, I made sure to bring a little mirror since there's not a tremendous amount of light in the bathroom...but that is a very minor issue. I would recommend this apartment to any of my family and friends. Thanks, Marijke!!
