We had an amazing time in Marijke's apartment. The location was PERFECT. The design made us feel like we were at home in NYC but with the perfect amount of Amsterdam charm. That bed is so damn comfortable we had a difficult time waking up in the morning but that's a very good thing! Marijke couldn't meet us but her lovely friend Douwe was there to greet us perfectly on time and give us some tips about the area. Marijke's next door neighbor Hyacyntia turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip as she was HYSTERICAL, warm and so kind as to allow us to leave our luggage at her place and then she DROVE us to the airport! Unreal! Highly recommend staying here. The only downside is there is not enough light in the bathroom which made getting ready to go out a bit of a challenge. This certainly should NOT be a deterrent for anyone when deciding to book this apartment. It's still getting 5 stars in our book and we will definitely return next time!
