The Apartment is light and spacious indeed, perfectly clean, very stylish yet cosy. We really enjoyed our stay, including the very nice view over the waterfront. The island is quiet and an impressive contrast to the old center of Amsterdam. To purchase small food items or snacks, there is a nice little turkish shop next to the tram stop, so you don't have to go to the Shopping Center for that. Communication was absolutely smooth and immediate from the very beginning. Marianne gave us a very warm welcome, being most generous and helpful with everything. In particular, she saved us with the parking ticket machine, which didn't accept my maestro ec card... best bring a credit card if you come by car. Clearly a superhost - the perfect choice if you seek a quiet beautiful place and don't mind the 15 min. by tram, which runs really frequently.
