Marion and Jan could not have been more welcoming or helpful. The room was well set up and their garden exactly as it appears in the picture. They live on the outskirts of Amsterdam, yet it is easy and pleasant to get to the city with a short bus ride and ferry straight to central station which is free. We had wonderful weather so the ferry was an absolute pleasure and the wharf area is being developed in interesting ways with dynamic cafes and restaurants which we would not have seen had we stayed closer to the city centre. We were able to cycle out to an area 5 minutes from Marion's house, full of small waterways and canals with picturesque windmills - exactly as you would imagine Holland. We can unreservedly recommend this place to stay.
