Marion's place is as described on the website, perhaps even better. It is essentially a flat so you have your own space and garden. There is a large living/dining area with enough seating for six. There is a fully equipped kitchen and if you need any extras I am sure Marion will oblige she is such a wonderful host. The bed is large and comfortable and the linen is clean. The whole space has been designed intelligently to maximise space and the decor is modern.
The location is brilliant. There is a canal 50 meters from the flat where you can go for a relaxing walk each morning. You can also hire a bike and enjoy a ride, it would be a shame not to in the Netherlands, everyone cycles everywhere. I rode into the Dutch countryside and managed to take a photo standing next to a typical Dutch windmill- awesome! I also saw the surrounding villages; I would recommend visiting the town of Weesp; it's only about 2 miles away. The town centre is beautiful and you guessed it, there is a canal, and there are medieval boats moored on it.
There is a metro station a 40-minute walk from the flat, but the bus stop is only 200 metres away if you prefer not to walk. I would recommend the walk though, as it leads through a park and is relaxing. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Amsterdam central station by metro. If you buy a day ticket it costs 7.50 Euros and you can use it on all public transport in and around Amsterdam.
As a host Marion and Leo are brilliant. My flight was going to arrive late and as they thought I might struggle to find my way or check in they came and collected me from the airport. They also offered to drive me to the shops if needed. And when I decided to go on a bike ride Leo came with me to show me some nice routes. They really made me feel at home. Thank you, Leo.
For places to visit in Amsterdam, The Rijksmuseum is a must. I wanted to visit the Van Gogh museum too but it was fully booked.
If you are thinking about booking Marion's place, waste no time. You won't regret it.
