Monthly Rentals in Marken

YOU GOTTA STAY HERE! Ok, now that I’ve said the most important thing before running out of space, here are some details: Edam is without a doubt the loveliest town we visited in The Netherlands (and we saw A LOT). The hosts were perfect, sent lots of info and tips ahead of time and were at the apartment to let us in when we got there. Clear, easy instructions, beautiful clean apartment, fresh flowers and bulbs, tea, coffee and a few other staples were provided. There’s a balcony AND a backyard and lots of windows with lots of light, incl. the morning sunrise. Very close to a bus stop AND the bus station for more buses. A FAB farmers/cheese market outside the door every Wednesday. SO many shops, grocery stores, restaurants, pubs, basically on the same street. Museums, art, souvenirs, canal and all the history you could hope for. I seriously did not want to leave. It was a great “home base” and easy to get to lots of other historic towns including Amsterdam. It is GREAT, don’t hesitate.

I stayed at Vivian’s place with my elderly mom, and we had a great time! It is extremely conveniently located near all of the restaurants on the promenade. You just have to step out the door, walk a few steps, and you’re right on the promenade. The modern kitchen is nice, sometimes a bit inconvenient if you are not very tech-savvy or want to use a mokka pot for example (which you can’t on the induction plates). Two things to be aware of: 1. there is a small step from the main bedroom to the main bathroom, which tripped my elderly mom the first time. 2. If you are staying on a Friday/Saturday night, be prepared for lots of loud and drunk yelling from the nearby bar until about 1 am. The TV had German and British channels, which was great for my mom in the evening. Free parking is about 10 min walking away. Vivian has been very responsive and gave us some great restaurant suggestions (Smit-Bokkum and Romy’s Kitchen!). We would definitely stay again!

very nice house I recommend it, everything is clean and tidy

The Hosts were very lovely and friendly, we got a lot of recommendations for the surrounding area and Amsterdam which we couldn’t sadly all do in three days but we’ll be happy to be back and to see all the other things! We enjoyed our stay very much and recommend this place for everyone. It’s a cozy and quiet place, but especially in August - when the Fair in Hoorn starts - there’s a lot to do and see! Thank you for the beautiful weekend.
