It was very easy to get to the apartment, we were greeted by Marfi's daughter and allowed to keep our bags secured until our room was ready as we arrived early. Extremely helpful and a pleasurable introduction. The apartment is just down the street from Vondel Park and Museumpliem. The area was quiet overall but a little noisier on the street over the weekend. Restaurants, shops, groceries were all available within a 1-2 block radius. The apartment is very large, our young daughter enjoyed running around and wearing off steam! We had private access to a full service kitchen. The decor and furniture is all a bit dated, but we felt it added to the charm of the apartment. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, it was on the expensive side but I guess Amsterdam in August is everywhere.
