It feels a bit weird writing a review for someone who has become more than just my first Airbnb host but also a friend we're not likely to forget. But since it's part of the territory, I would just like to say that staying in someone else's home and actually sharing space with them and other guests is really not for everyone. But it can be a truly enriching experience when it works out. Marta prepares the BEST breakfast that we missed in all the other places we stayed in, even if there was plenty more food in some of them. Getting in at night after their family dinner, she offered us not one but two kinds of cake that were both delicious and we ended up chatting with her and another friend of hers for hours. Last but not least, she drove us to the airport in her car on the morning of our departure and refused to accept payment for it, though I doubt she'd do that for everyone. Guess she liked us too. Thanks for the stay, the breakfasts, the desserts, the conversation, the drive and the friendship, Marta. (Didn't want to do this review until I've sent you back your key. :) Thanks for the pickup and warm welcome, Michelle. And finally, thanks to Airbnb for connecting people and giving us a place to call home in Amsterdam.
