Our experience at Mark's place represents the best of what Airbnb can be. He was an extremely helpful and friendly host and was immediately available to answer any questions. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had tons of character. Our girls loved sleeping in the loft and the huge windows allowed for a great breeze even in hot weather. It was great being so close to the grocery stores, cafes, and the open air market while still being on a relatively quiet (for Amsterdam) street. Thanks for an unforgettable trip.
