Firstly let me say that this is a very pleasant and convenient apartment and that we really enjoyed our stay.

As Willem was away on a ‘retreat’ weekend we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting him personally. In a way we didn’t need to meet him as staying in the apartment felt like he had just stepped out and allowed us to take his place for a while, inviting us to slip easily into the flowing stream of his pristine and ordered life. The apartment felt immediately ‘hospitable’ and welcoming, and his nephew Timo who met us even kindly invited us to help ourselves to fruit and food as a gesture of that hospitality.

Everything in the apartment was finished to a very high standard, and immaculately clean and organised. As Willem appears to be a therapist there was also a lovely supportive energy in the apartment which promoted easy relaxation and comfort.

The main bedroom has the luxury of an electrically adjustable bed with what appears to be a ‘memory’ mattress, giving full control of the journey into the arms of sleep. The single bed in the second bedroom may be a little firm for some tastes but is still very comfortable with the added advantage that firm support cultivates a healthy spine.

Guests with mobility challenges might also need to know that the apartment is on the first floor and accessed by a relatively long and steep main staircase, as found in many Dutch houses of this type.

Perfectly placed for tram and metro transport: a café / bar and a restaurant on the ground floor (not noisy): a five minute walk to a clutch of popular restaurant bars in Beukenplein: and a three minute walk to the main hospital - if you overdo the bars.

Ten out of ten points and heartily recommended.

Thank you Willem, and hope to stay again if you will have us.
