This windmill truly is a calm, quiet retreat from the bustling center of Amsterdam. Even though is it is conveniently located in the city, the windmill's park-like setting makes it seem much more remote. Roel was a great host. Upon arrival we had a nice, relaxed conversation in which he offered a great wealth of information and personal recommendations on seeing the local sights. The highlight of our stay, of course, seeing the windmill turn and enjoying Roel's guided tour of the 300+ year old structure. We highly recommend this unique space if you are visiting Amsterdam.
