Bart and Manon was very communicative before and throughout the stay. They gave good suggestions on food and had a handy guidebook for your stay. The location although a little out of the main city area is its charm. It was quiet, had a beautiful view by the river and totally relaxing. The house was clean, kitchen had all that you need and a nice sitting area by the garden for breakfast. The view from the ground floor and 2nd floor balcony were awesome. The stairs were a little steep for those with heavy luggages which we unfortunately had. All in all, very nice retreat from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam.
