We had a wonderful week at Theya & Marjan’s place. Check-in went very smoothly. The house is comfortable and there was plenty of space for two adults and our kids (11 & 14). It was hot and mosquitoes were very bad, but two windows were thoughtfully covered with mosquito netting so we could keep them open at night. We loved the patio for coffee in the mornings and visiting with the neighbor cat. In the evenings we enjoyed the live music from the campground behind the house (but it never went too late or too loud).
The neighborhood is so charming and we had a delicious dinner at the cafe up the street. Commuting was more of a challenge than staying in the center would’ve been, but it will be less of a problem for future guests now that the Meteo line is open. We managed fine with a combination of rental bikes, the free ferry, and transit passes (our cards didn’t work on the bus or machines so we had to buy tickets from the office at the train station). We discovered the new Metro line on our last two days — just a 10-min walk with trains directly to the canal ring. There was a great ice cream shop right by the house as a reward at the end of a long day of sightseeing.
The front door lock broke while we were there. It didn’t interfere with our use of the house, but in order to report it we had to try the emergency phone number 3 times before someone answered. We found texting through Airbnb to be a more effective way to communicate.
All in all it was a lovely stay! Thank you!
