Roel is an absolutely lovely guy and we really enjoyed meeting him, chatting with him and swapping stories. The windmill is cool and we were excited to be staying there. The location though is more than a bit iffy and although we are seasoned athletic travellers, we felt a bit nervous about walking back from the number 13 tram late at night so we came home about 11pm.Sadly our instinct proved correct as our hire car, which we had parked outside the windmill,was broken into overnight, the windows were smashed and the interior vandalised although we had left nothing in the car.
Our host had left for the day when we discovered this about 9am, luckily my partner speaks Dutch and he was able to liaise with the authorities.
