Marion's room was a perfect place to stay when visiting Amsterdam. Her neighborhood has beautiful tree-lined streets and is full of cafes, shops and restaurants. It is located well away from the tourists traps in the center of the city but is close enough to walk, bike or take the train to any sight you would wish to explore.

The room itself was exactly as pictures - comfortable, and spacious enough to hold a bed, bookshelf and couch. It has nice lighting and direct access to a terrace. Having a private bathroom space was a plus, and the feeling of privacy was enhanced by a separate hallway from the main living space. There was even space to hang laundry inside or outside.

Marion was a great host. She invited me to share two meals with her and I was happy to accept!

Some other highlights included the ease of having a bike for use right upon arrival - no need to deal with the additional hassle or expense of renting! Marion also provided water and snacks when I arrived, and offered me an umbrella and poncho in case of rainy weather.
