Marijke was welcoming, charming and helpful with information during my recent stay in Amsterdam. The room was exactly as described and pictured; the bed is comfortable, and the room is quiet. It was nice being in a residential area away from the tourist comotion. Location was excellent - a very short walking distance to Muiderpoort Station - a major hub for trams, buses and the train (only 7 minutes to Centraal Station, every 30 minutes). DO by one of the transportation passes at the TI center. I was quite happy during my stay. Thanks, Marijke!
