I would thoroughly recommend staying at Vincent's house. Vincent's communication was clear and he was quick to respond to any questions. The house is excellent and completely matches the description, it is very comfortable and spacious and very well equipped. The area is very tranquil, there are beautiful walks immediately from the door, and it feels very safe and friendly. It is a great place to retreat to, after spending the day in the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. The house is very easy to get to buy car , being only 5 minutes from the ring road and Vincent's directions were very clear and easy to follow, consequently, it is well placed for visiting other attractions in North Holland. The local amenities are excellent, with a choice of shops, bars and restaurants close by. There are good links via tram with Amsterdam centre, however, we chose to walk in, which took about 25 minutes to the Central Station, and is a very pleasant stroll along the Eastern docks.
We were greeted by Vincent's friend mark, who arrived at exactly the time he said he would, and was friendly and helpful, he was also available to contact with any problems or for advice on how to get the best from the area.
