We enjoyed staying at Marleen's very much. The room was beautiful, large, clean, comfortable, with a stunning, sunny view. The location couldn't be better--just steps from the #17 tram, which seems to go everywhere! Also, there are many restaurants just at the corner, and more stores and restaurants along nearby FrederickHenricklaan. Because it is located up three flights of a winding staircase, it is best suited for younger guests who don't suffer from joint problems, or get easily winded. The description lists a washer, but guests should know that it is available only after 11 p.m. when the water rates go down, and costs 2 Euro per load. The water supply to the shower is poor. We were never able to have a shower when we weren't altnernately scalded or shocked by cold water. There is a lovely kitchen between the room and balcony, though no breakfast is served. You must provide this yourself, and if other guests leave unsealed food out and dirty dishes overnight, you will see them there in the morning! Still, as a quiet, clean, beautifully-appointed refuge from the world, yet very accessible to it, you can do no better than Marleen's.
