What can we say that hasn't already been said? Caroline is a lovely kind warmhearted person, her home is very comfortable and a bit quirky which we loved! Its ideal for exploring Amsterdam by foot, everything seems to be on the doorstep, markets, cafes, restaurants, shops, places of interest. We stayed for 7 nights and made the most of every day from taking an evening dinner cruise to using the local tram and buses to get to Muiderslot to visit the medieval castle which is well worth a visit. Living on the canal is an experience in its self, and it was lovely to wake up in the morning to the calls of a family of coots waiting for their daily feed of bread and porridge oats! in the evenings having a glass or two of wine and waving at the tourist boats passing by, and browsing some of the 100's of interesting books that Caroline has. Would love to go back one day for a longer stay!!!!!!!....ps We are now (thanks to Caroline) addicted to the stroopwaffles! which were kindly provided at the beginning of our stay, and needless to say didn't last long! xx
