Rob and Fang were amazing hosts. Rob an architect by trade and community thinker, offered a wonderful room fully enclosed with a Kitchenette and self enclosed hidden bathroom coming from behind the magical door . Wait for the wow factor... He will appreciate it if you let him "show it to you" . Don't forget to say awesome !
If you don't know , "no bike" in holland is like no baguettes In Paris. The family includes two bikes and your own set of keys. You are close enough to watch the debauchery from a far, being done by the youth but close enough to do a sample study ... Just 4 minutes by bicycle to the center... If you know how to peddle and balance on a REAL bike , you are in . Peddling so much afforded me the stomach space to eat more. ( note to American foodies: skip all the gourmet burgers.. Ask for local cuisine ~ you have done that already)
If you have a tot traveling with you , his kids are fun and joyful .If you are anything like me who enjoy the wonders of growing with children- his kids bring the joy of pitter/patter at 7 am.
A bottle of wine and very little encouragement will bring stimulating conversation in the topics of community, culture, gentrification, housing , white privilege and many other topics. He is a walking , understanding one man think tank.
Rob's wife , Fang, is a breath of fresh air and just can not be described ... Brush up on your Mandarine so you can chat with the kids- it's very Multi-culti.
Overall my stay was beyond 5 stars. The room is exactly what you see in the picture and the hospitality is beyond anything anyone can ask for.
Rob Fang and Family... Thank you!
