First time using Airbnb and I have to say it could not be better. I relocated to Amsterdam for work and needed a semi long term place to stay rather than a hotel. Mark was a gracious host and was very helpful in getting us oriented to Amsterdam. His place is in a perfect location to access the city, the neighborhood is great and public transportation is close and simple. Everything we needed was minutes away when walking or by tram. I have to really thank Mark for his hospitality, he was a very significant reason why my transition from the US to the Netherlands was so easy.
