Marijke was very responsive and easy to get in touch with; she’s also super sweet, as she sent me messages to make sure everything was going alright with me and my stay. She was accommodating with the check-in time as well; I was running a little late due to transit issues, but Marijke was kind enough to match my arrival schedule. I had no issues with the check out time (and honestly the locker system at Amsterdam Centraal is super straightforward and only costs 7-10€, so luggage concerns shouldn’t be an issue for most people).
Location is great; it’s a short walk to several train/metro stops - plus when it’s nice out, you can easily take a nice 30-40 min stroll into the main “downtown” area of Amsterdam.
The room itself was good - it’s cozy, quiet, and has all the basic amenities (greatly appreciated the fridge, water boiler, and even a teapot, cup, and coffee!). Towels were provided, and Marijke was kind enough to share her shampoo and body wash with me (the washroom is beautiful and super spacious by the way!). Her house has floor heating (which keeps the washroom warm), and in addition she offered me a mini portable heater for the bedroom which was amazing and greatly appreciated, because it really was quite cold during this time haha. The only thing is the mattress was personally a little soft for me - but that’s totally personal preference.
Overall great place to stay, and would definitely recommend it to others :). Thank you again for everything!
