Upon arrival, I was greeted with enthusiasm by Dorien. The bottle of wine and delicious Dutch waffle snacks were a very nice treat as well. The room was in perfect condition and the view of the canal was as described in the listing. I had an absolutely fantastic stay. Maurice and Dorien' s place is an excellent location in the heart of Amsterdam and close walking distance to the museums ( Ryks, Vango etc) and the famous Leidesplein area with restaurants and night life is nearby. The No 4 tram is close which takes you direct to Central Station. Lastly, within close walking distance are local cafés / restaurants and pubs. I highly recommend Maurice and Darien as hosts and their room with a view is an excellent choice for a couple visiting Amsterdam looking for a safe, clean, inviting, and great location !
