A fantastic location, calm, quiet, peaceful, immaculate accommodation with your own entrance, bathroom and light, airy space. (Plus, we had a family of grebes that rested outside our windows one side each day, beautiful to see floating sleepily, bobbing about on the water.)
A decent but pleasant walk or cycle ride along a car free, wide, hard surfaced ‘road’ into Amsterdam alongside the canal. There were inexpensive buses if required along the road, though we only used this once on the day we arrived.
Marloes was very helpful leaving tips on places to explore, information about the boat/barge which was very interesting and was eager to answer our questions in fantastic English as our Dutch is non existent.
Shops, post office, bank and restaurants were close by and easy to access, just a short walk across a road onto a car free walk/cycle way.
Marloes was very helpful allowing us access to our accommodation early, giving us the opportunity to explore luggage free. We also had the offer of leaving later on our departure day.
We throughly enjoyed our holiday which gave us a chance to explore the city but stay in a family area away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We felt safe and welcome the five days we were in the Amsterdam and would recommend this accommodation to couples that enjoy space, quiet and more natural settings.
