Overall we had a pleasant stay at Theya and Marjan's house. Their house was very clean and had all the amenities that you need, especially if you like cooking. In terms of location it is in a peaceful area north of the river, but only a short (and free) ferry ride to Amsterdam central. Shops are nearby. Marcella was very welcoming and always willing to assist.

Despite our good stay, it is worth pointing out a couple of things. Firstly, this is not a traditional three bedroom house, more like a 1.5 with loft. There are two interconnecting rooms separated by a sliding door. The loft is located above. This means it is not particularly private. As we found out, when one child woke up, everyone else woke up. My 62 year old mother preferred to sleep on the couch in the living room.

Secondly, please confirm the pricing with Theya and Marjan before you book. The price that was advertised was quite less than what we paid for.
