This is a terrific place to stay, and a great deal for Amsterdam. We were just 20 or 30 minutes away from the city center, an easy trip on public transport. Marc's place offered a quiet, clean, comfortable place to relax after our city adventures-- with peaceful canal views (and views of water birds nesting by the waterfront patio). Marc had great recommendations for restaurants and activities, and shared some homemade pancakes with us on a Sunday morning. Excellent host, great space, would definitely stay again. :)
