Marc and Brenda a lovely hosts. The apartment looks just like the photos and is modern and airy. There is a lot of space and a great view of a canal from the living room. The neighborhood is wonderful -- you are walking distance from all the sights, but away from tourists and noise. We really enjoyed the restaurants nearby (Moeder's and a lovely restaurant in the local park). You're in Amsterdam so the stairs are narrow, so don't bring big, heavy suitcases!
