Marieke's home is absolutely gorgeous - even more impressive than what you see in the photos. All the small details were also thoughtfully taken care of - soft towels, crisp sheets, personal coffee maker in the room - which made for an extremely comfortable stay.
The apartment was conveniently located, with direct tram and bus connections to the center, the VU, and de Pijp, for instance. The immediate neighborhood is also lovely and worth wandering around in in it's own right.
Finally, Marieke was a great host - warm, welcoming and happy to have a quick chat in the mornings before I headed out for the day. Highly recommended!
