We had a pleasant stay at Marijke´s home, her place is close to a train station which in turn is a good way to get close to where the good stuff in the city is. The room was clean and tidy when we arrived, check in/out was easy. If I had to point out something to watch out for it might be the shower (do ask how it works, it´s not immediately obvious) and the fact the kitchen it´s not available (which is important since eating outside is expensive in Amsterdam, it`s way cheaper to eat some groceries).
