I recommend this place! Marion went above and beyond. I felt comfortable and welcomed into her home even though she was busy with a hair client when I arrived. The room was just as you see pictured -- flowers on the table (with snacks!), clean towels and a cozy bed. I couldn't stay awake very long because I was jet lagged but the limited amount of time I was able to spend with Marion (I stayed one night) was memorable and pleasant. The neighborhood has a wonderful, quiet, residential feel overflowing with bikes! There are a few cafes and a yummy breakfast spot (Bakers and Roasters) just down the street. It's quiet and very walkable to the museum district or just to the tram.

I returned to Amsterdam later in the week and went back to Marion's home (even though I was staying in a hotel nearby) for tea and a special hair cut (I recommend it!). Marion went above and beyond and took me on her bike to the train station with my luggage! And then to a bus station because I couldn't load an OV card with my pin-less credit card, whoops! THANK YOU MARION!
