My stay was fantastic! Maria answered all my questions and was VERY detailed in her explanations. Being a tourist, I thought it was very sweet that she took time to go over a map and suggest what to do and where and what to eat. Her home itself is in a great location; very close to city center, yet in a quiet neighborhood. Canals are literally right out front. Her entire home was extremely clean with all the amenities a hotel would have. I cannot get over how cool her entrance is! You'll see what I mean when you go. I would stay at this location again anytime I am back in Amsterdam! Take care Maria!
