What a great experience in Amsterdam. Maria's place was fantastic. She provided some welcome snacks and beverages. All of the other reviews were spot on. As with what other travelers said, yes it was noisy at times at night due to a club on the same street. This by no means made my stay any less. The location is prime. A canal right outside your door. Very scenic. Public transport is right down the street in the Leiseplein. All other sights I wanted to see we a short walk. Look forward to staying here again .
