Mark's place was really beautiful and clean. We stayed at his place for 3 nights, his neighborhood seemed safe and very quiet. Upon arriving mark greeted us and gave us a tour of his lovely home. His neighborhood has just about everything and is extremely close to the nearby tram or bus. It took us about 10-15 mins to get to Amsterdam Centraal. If you are looking for a place to kick back and relax from all the craziness of Amsterdam Centraal, this is the place. Clean, safe and easily accessible. Mark was a wonderful host and I would not mind visiting again. Thanks Mark.
