Marieke's house is amazing, we had a great three days here and could not have felt more comfortable. It is ultra clean and very modern and comfortable with all of the facilities needed. It is also very conveniently located with a tram and bus stop literally just outside the door. We could get to central Amsterdam in just 15 minutes and the tram system is very easy to understand. Our boys also loved the play area nearby and we all loved our walks in Rembrandt park a few minutes walk away. The area felt very safe (once we got used to looking out for all of the cyclists!) and there are a few convenience stores nearby to stock up on everything we needed. The communication with Marieke was outstanding and she went out of her way to explain the rather complicated process of parking our car at a nearby park and ride car park, that saved us loads and I don't think we could have worked it all out without her help. Overall we loved our stay in Amsterdam and would highly recommend a stay at Marieke's house!
