This was my husband's and I's first time using Airbnb. We were a little nervous, but the apartment exceeded our expectations and Marloes and Gabriel were amazing hosts who made us feel right at home.

My husband and I arrived later than expected, but Marloes was fantastic about letting us know it was okay and to take our time. Once we arrived to the apartment, Marloes was already waiting outside to welcome us. He gave us a tour of the apartment, showed us how everything worked, and let us borrow two bikes for the duration of our visit. When we inquired about where to find food at such a late hour, he rode with us by bike to show us how to get to restaurants that were still possibly open. He made us feel so comfortable with not only the apartment, but with Amsterdam.
The apartment was absolutely perfect. It was modern and very cute. There was not a speck of dirt. It is even better in person than in the pictures. The bed is ridiculously comfortable, the raining shower head makes taking a shower extra relaxing, and there was storage space to put our things.
In terms of neighborhood, we felt so safe. It is a tidy, quiet neighborhood and there was nothing to worry about. We loved being only a short walk away from public transport. This allowed us the quiet that we appreciate, but gave us easy access to Central Amsterdam when we wanted.
If we ever come back to Amsterdam, we will absolutely stay with Marloes and Gabriel again. They have a beautiful apartment and are fantastic hosts.
