This was my first trip to Amsterdam with two friends and we booked 2 nights at Marian and Simon's place. They were wonderful hosts and made us feel incredibly welcome in their beautiful home. We had the downstairs bit all to ourselves and also had access to their beautiful garden which is great when the weather is good. The location is good being only a 30 minute walk from the centre. The house right by a park that stretches all the way to the museum district so made for lovely walks in and out of town. Would highly recommend this place and big thanks to Marian and Simon for their hospitality!
