We enjoyed our stay at Lotte’s place. It is really charming house and even though it is located outside of the city center, the location is good with bus station 2min away. If you get a day bus ticket for Heritage route that goes every 15min from central station, you can use it to go and see the Zaanse Schaans - windmill village ( once you leave your luggage) and after go to the the city center and stroll around. Communication was excellent and Lotte replied fast to our requirements. Thanks Lotte and family!
