This was a fantastic family house. The location was wonderful and beautiful with the two intersecting canals right outside the door. The house is full of interesting artwork, magazines, and books, and the toys are fantastic. My two girls (ages 6 and 9), who shared the children's bunk-bed room, loved the toys and watching the ships go past the bedroom window. They also watched some of the children's DVDs, which have English tracks. That was very nice. The house was incredibly clean, with great amenities (clothes washer and a dryer!), and it was extremely quiet. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was large and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. We especially enjoyed the espresso machine. The children loved the Cremer park playground that is just around the corner, and they loved the Vondelpark playgrounds that are just a short walk or bike-ride away. One night we ate at the Vondeltuin outdoor restaurant while the children ran from the table to the playground right next to it. Just fantastic. We also really liked the Kinderbadje (children's wading pool) at the Vondelpark. We thank the family so much for letting us borrow their bicycles!!! We had just a wonderful time.
