Staying at Marcus’s home was an absolute pleasure. It was our first time visiting Amsterdam and we were glad to stay in the Noord. It has more of a neighborhood/industrial vibe, so is much quieter—great for our restful nights. The walk to the metro is about 15 minutes but is a charming walk (not something I say about my NY commutes). The walk to the free ferry is about the same and takes you through some of the newer waterfront developments. The house itself is beautiful! Clean, modern, and has that minimal European vibe with lots of coziness and plants. PLANTS! We didn’t cook but the place was also fully stocked for doing so. I enjoyed the bathtub and the back patio the most. We were 3 friends renting the home, but could easily see ourselves or our families enjoying a space like this. Seriously, we are going to move to Amsterdam now :) Thanks for an amazing stay.
