Marielle was very welcoming upon our arrival. She had lots of information available for us about Amsterdam and the neighborhood which we found helpful. The apartment was clean and tastefully furnished :). The location is also great, within walking distance of most things of interest and close by to a tram stop. Only thing that might be an issue for some are the 4 very steep flights of stairs - not ideal for heavy luggage. The bathroom is also quite small but this might be more common for European homes? Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay in Amsterdam and this was largely influenced by the great accommodation provided by Marielle :)
