Marion's back room is perfect. Located in the great neighborhood of De Pijp, this place is quiet but only minutes away from everything. Especially considering that she will provide free bikes with the room (which saves about 10+ euro per day)

My girlfriend and I stayed for 4 nights and saved so much money on transportation. You can literally bike everywhere in Amsterdam.

As for the apartment, Marion had it perfectly prepared with water, snacks, and clean linens and towels. You basically have your own place because the room is situated far back from the main house where she lives and runs the salon. So, the room is very private. Marion is also very willing to help with tips for Amsterdam - restaurants, bars, you name it. I can't think of a single complaint staying with Marion. We have even talked about buying a vacation home on this street!!

We went out mostly near the central part (only about a 5-10 minute bike ride from the room), but also went out a few times in De Pijp. You honestly don't need, or even want, to stay in central Amsterdam during tourist season. That makes de Pijp perfect.

Great spot for a private room.
