I felt at home the minute I arrived at this delightful and civilized family house packed with curiosities and mild eccentricities that reflect the wide-ranging interests of the owners. The bed is very comfortable, the room quiet and the balcony charming. The stairs are steep and may not be too easy for anyone with a mobility problem. The bathroom is shared but there's plenty of hot water and a little flexibility goes a long way. The family is welcoming and easy-going, can offer excellent suggestions on where to go, what to see and how to get there, and the lovely old Flemish house with its pretty garden is 10/15 minutes walk from Centraal Station, the Diamond and Jewish districts. Denis the terrier/datchund cross is adorable and very nearly carried away in my suitcase.
