My husband and I stayed in Marja's studio for about 5 days. Marja's friend greeted us at check-in, and she was very kind and welcoming. Marja was nice enough to supply drinks and snacks at our arrival. The previous review mentioned a bad smell because of the pump in the bathroom, well the pump was replaced and we did not experience any smell. I will say the studio is like a basement so there is some dampness. The temperature was fairly cool in Amsterdam so we were pretty comfortable in the studio during the day and night. The studio is very small but the location is great. There are a bunch of shops, restaurants and clubs close by. We weren't bothered by the lack of space since we were out most of the day exploring. It does get loud at night due to the night life but it didn't bother us one bit. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
