Marja's place was in the perfect location! We were VERY pleasantly surprised with how close it was to the "main spots." Marja was continuously responding to our requests and travel updates prior to arrival, and she had a friend greet us as soon as we arrived in town so we weren't walking around trying too hard to find the place. The entire process of checking in and getting settled went flawlessly. She also laid out wine, cookies, snacks, and drinks for us to use, free of charge. There's a mini fridge you can use in the room as well. The room is tiny and a bit dark, but its clean and comfy. You will definitely hear the late night crowds, but that's the person/ couple this room works best for. The windows are also able to be opened so you can see people from street level and get a unique experience of hearing the sounds of the town while you get ready/ hang out. If you like "peace and quiet" this will not be your best place. However, if you want the true feel of Amsterdam and the "night life", then book this room immediately. Just be sure to bring ear plugs and a sleep mask (just in case). We had a lovely time and hope to stay here again in the future. Thanks Marja!
