Mark is wonderful and very hospitable host! We liked him even before we arrived in Amsterdam. He is very friendly answered all our questions. He gave us a map and a bottle of wine! Very nice addition to a wonderful apartment) The apartment is very light and comfortable, it has everything you need: a hair dryer, towels, microwave, TV. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. It was there we had nice evenings. The apartment has a very nice balcony with beautiful flowers. We also met with a very kind and sympathetic neighbors. We went to the center on foot, it took 30-40 minutes, it is best reached by bus or bicycle, it is quick and easy! Next to the apartment is a park, a very beautiful and green! The area is quiet and peaceful, that pleases even the youth after the busy center. On the way back, Mark was kind enough to take us to the airport. We'll be back in Amsterdam and again sat down with Mark!
