Marjolin's apartment is in a really good area of the city -- close to the trams, the best museums and restaurants and a quick walk to one of the best parks in the city Vondelpark. She also happens to be right across the street from the best cafe in Amsterdam (imho) (Coffee District). And if you need wine, she owns the cute wine shop on the corner. Her apartment was a very comfortable stay for me and my daughter -- she provided all the amenities you needed. I would highly recommend staying at her place for anyone looking to explore Amsterdam.
