This is the best neighborhood in Amsterdam, and Maria was the best host ever! It's an easy walk from the train station. The building is lovely and totally modernized inside. The room is spacious, with a sitting area and every convenience you could want. The king size bed was especially comfortable, and the decor is artsy. You share the bathroom and separate toilet with Maria, but she gives you lots of privacy (her part of the apartment is separate and not shared). The best part of the day is when Maria rolls in the breakfast cart with a huge assortment of offerings, from cereals to fruit, yogurt, breads and meats and cheeses (and always something sweet). It was also very convenient to be able to use Maria's washer/dryer to do laundry for 5 euros. Thank you, Maria! We had a lovely time!
