My friend and I had lovely, though too short, stay with Marion. She provided us ahead of time with plenty of information regarding directions, restaurant recommendations, activities happening in the local area, and more. She has a vast amount of local knowledge and made sure to do thorough research if there was anything she was uncertain of.

The room was wonderfully cozy with soft beds, warm blankets and a nice seating area. Marion allowed us to choose several bouquets of fresh flowers to keep on the bedside tables, really made it feel like home. She provided us with plenty of water and snacks as well as several local maps. She had menus from many local restaurants and we made it to the delicious Seafood Bar (about a 5 min bike away) from her suggestion.

The apartment location is perfect, it is in the trendy De Pijp neighborhood, right next to the Heineken Experience and Albert Cuyp market, as well as directly across the canal from Museumplein. Although there are plenty of bars and restaurants close by, the room is set back far into the house so there is absolutely no noise from the street.

Marion has several bikes that are available for guest use, we borrowed a couple of them and it was by far the best way to get around the city! She provides all the necessary locks and shows you how to use them.

We would have loved to stay longer for one night, Marion is an extremely lovely host and the room was ideal.
