My experience at the host's rooftop was great. The warm welcome and helpful nature of the host made my stay exceptionally enjoyable. I highly recommend this host to anyone seeking a positive and memorable accommodation experience.

Thank you very much, Mahfoud! It was great to be your host. The first Algerian who stayed in my rooftop :-). I learned a lot from you and hope to see you again in Amsterdam.

Marina is such a kind and friendly and open minded person. I got all informations I needed and there where no questions left. The rooftop is a really cosy place. Very spacious. And allways flooded by light. I loved it and felt like home. Public transport is a few minutes by feet away. And a supermarket and other shops are nearby.

I had a very comfortable stay at Marinas roof top room. Her home reflects her love and concern for the people she has met and places she has visited. It also shows her love for reading and it surely makes for very interesting conversations. Her home has all the amenities one might need and her helpful nature will surely make every visit comfortable and easy. With the metro just 2 mins from her place getting around is so very easy. I would surely request her for a stay whenever I go back to Amsterdam. Thank you Marina

I was at Marina's house for almost two weeks, but it could have been two years, if our schedules would have allowed it.
A very quiet, beautiful and comfortable rooftop.
I could say that Marina is a very polite, ans educated person, and very supportive and understanding, what more can you ask of a person.
I hope to return to Amsterdam and be lucky enough to repeat on the rooftop of the Marina.Host reply
Thank you very much, Pepa!
