Of the 5 places we stayed on our Netherlands & Norway adventure, Marleen's apartment was our favorite. We were greeted by Marleen's father Willem who showed us the facilities, how to use them, and gave us a few pointers on transportation options and markets in the neighborhood.
The apartment is nicely decorated and well equipped, is located in a quiet neighborhood, is very close to multiple transportation options, and even a short walk to a few main tourist areas. You can see the #3 Tram coming up the street, the station/stop is right across Planciusstraat, and it passes very close to a number of must-see destinations throughout the city. The view of the canal and the street below was picturesque. I really enjoyed sitting at the table in the morning, drinking coffee, and watching Amsterdammers pedal about starting their day. I highly recommend staying at this cute little apartment.
