Marc's place is exactly as advertised – better, really! The apartment is bright, roomy and nicely decorated. The kitchen has everything you might need, the shower is amazing, and the terrace and garden are lovely. The bottle of wine to welcome us was greatly appreciated! Communication was quick, clear and friendly. Moreover, Amsterdam-Noord is a very interesting, up-and-coming neighborhood, with cool bars, restaurants and shops. We loved the NDSM Wharf and the free ferry to the city center. I would definitely recommend staying here!
