Alan and I really enjoyed our stay at Roland and Monica's lovely apartment, it was really easy to get a bus into Amsterdam Central or catch a tram to the museums. Amsterdam is a wonderful city to visit with so much culture and the Dutch are so welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Roland and Monica gave us a wonderful welcome and left roses and wine, it was a shame we didn't bump into them a little more so we could get to know them. We felt a little guilty leaving rubbish bags and bottles behind us, but we didn't know where to put them - it would be handy if a bin was left outside the apartment so we didn't feel like litter bugs, but I hope they will forgive us on this occasion. Maybe this could be included in their leaflet?
Roland and Monica left us a really helpful leaflet about transport and the area the live, and not forgetting the lovely bakery only a short walk away - we can recommend the toasties 😊.
We were conscious of keeping quiet for the children so they could get their rest for school, so we hope we didn't disturb them.
On the whole, we really enjoyed our stay and it felt like being home from home - thank you so much for your welcome, it was so much better than staying in a hotel being that much more personal.
Kindest regards,
Denise and Alan x
