The photo does not do Maria’s place justice, as it was more beautiful in real life. It was my first time in Amsterdam and my first experience traveling solo. My room was perfect, with TV and Netflix, and all the amenities you can think of. Maria’s place was incredibly homey, with spacious kitchen and living room, and very clean and well designed bathroom. Its easily the best AirBnB house I have lived in and perfect for solo traveler. The neighborhood is so full with shops, restaurants, salons, and cafes — also supermarkets. I could walk everywhere, too, although uber and bus are also an option. Thank you Maria and family as well as the cute cat Jopie for your hospitality and more.
