Mark's apartment was the perfect place for our time in Amsterdam. Close enough to walk to everything but located just far out enough to enjoy the serenity of the canals without any hullabaloo. The house was exactly as described and was the perfect combination of old world charm mixed with all of the little luxuries we are now used to. We've stayed in a few Airbnb places and there are two things which clearly made our stay at Mark's place stand out, firstly Lynda (host in Amsterdam) was extremely responsive and helpful both before our arrival and was there to meet us and show us everything we needed to know about the house and the surroundings. Secondly, the house itself felt very homely and had all the little things that made our experience a great one (from the coffee machine, to the bikes to the wonderful armchair in front of the fireplace!). Thank you Mark, Lynda and New Holland House.
