We enjoyed staying at Marlot’s place because of the wonderful host, amenities, and location. Although we did not get to meet (we had a full weekend), Marlot consistently communicated with us in preparation for our stay and during, including directions and places to see and eat. The place had thoughtful amenities such as plenty of linens, tea, a guidebook, and utilities basket. The neighborhood was perfect for us since we were looking to stay away from a tourist filled area. And we had access to restaurants, shops, groceries, and attractions. We had a comfortable 10-20 minute stroll to our destinations in other parts of Amsterdam. Overall, I highly recommend Marlot’s place!
