I had a lovely 3-night stay at Marion's cozy home in Amsterdam. She's a consummate host, thoughtfully leaving finger sandwiches, cookies, and water for her guests. The room and bathroom are exceedingly clean, well heated in winter, and quite private. Marion seems entirely flexible and responsive to the amount of interaction or privacy the guest may want. The location couldn't be better for getting to the museum quarter. On can easily walk to Amsterdam center in 30 minutes or less. The apartment is situated in the charmingly hip neighborhood of De Pijp, which is full of cafes, restaurants, and boutiques. I would stay with Marion again. She really is a wonderful and thoughtful host.
