Marlon’s place was amazing! You can not beat that location. My husband and I felt that we were the only travellers in the area. It was a lot of fun hanging out in the cafés/pubs with the locals. Watching a football game with the locals is an experience!
The bed was super comfortable and large, the room was spacious for European standards. Being so close to the Albert Cuyp market was such a bonus! The main downside was the noise. The locals like to have a good time into the night. Then early in the morning is also noisy as the market sets up- nothing earplugs can’t remedy.
