The windmill has an idyllic situation immediately around it but is actually in the suburban sprawl from Amsterdam towards the airport and a quite Turkish immigrant neighbourhood, so a good Turkish restaurant was within walking distance and the bus to the airport just a few minutes’ walk away or bus and tram or train from the city took about 45 minutes. The accommodation is pretty basic but the welcome into Roel’s home, breakfast and tour of the workings of the windmill was really great.
