Marion's place typifies what is magical about the Airbnb experience. It's an "insider's peek" into the real lives of the inhabitants of the city you are visiting. I use Airbnb because that intimate perspective is why I travel. I don't want a sterile hotel environment, devoid of color or interest. I want real life; I want to make a connection with natives of my destination. Marion's place is REAL Amsterdam. Her home shares space with her business and her personality. It was fun to get a peek into Dutch urban life. She understands that traveling in a new city is bewildering, so long before we arrived, she sent me via email recommendations for site-seeing and restaurants. We took her recommendation for a dinner place, and it was indeed very good. Her Airbnb accommodations are as pictured. Everything is immaculately clean and Marion saw to it that we had a few luxury comforts (extra pillows, thoughtful snacks, beverages, etc.) The bathroom is very small, even for Europe. But, it was also spotless and all the essentials were there for our needs: plenty of hot water, good water pressure and lighting. All in all, I would recommend this place. Marion is very dear, and interested in you having a wonderful time. One note: BE SURE to turn the dial in the bedroom that turns on the Wi-Fi. We didn't know about the dial, and so went through the night without the hoped-for contact with our families for our first night away. A minor oversight that ended up being inconsequential. I really recommend this place. Dank u hel, Marion!!
