We had an amazing experience staying with Maria. First of all, an elevator takes you up one floor to her flat, which is very rare and a huge plus. Her place is very clean and you have everything you need. She provided us with plenty of fresh towels and bathroom essentials (shampoo, soap, etc.). Maria took the time to sit down with us and give us many recommendations while in Amsterdam. Her apartment is located in the perfect neighborhood, very quiet but close to everything with gorgeous canal views around every corner. She was so hospitable and helped us do our laundry, and even shared her delicious fruit salad with us! Her cat is also very friendly. I would not hesitate to stay with Maria, and recommend her place to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Amsterdam!
