HOSTS: Myriam and Wim are both warm-hearted and very helpful hosts. We met them both in different occasions. They are living somewhere else so one does not see them often. But when it’s needed, they don’t hesitate to meet you.
CHECK-IN: They have a friend, Leon, and he was the one who met us gently in front of the house, giving us keys and showing us around. He was very helpful.
LOCATION/NEIGHBORHOOD: Even it’s not at the very center of the city, location is still very comfortable in terms of transportation to other zones of the city. Tram, metro and markets are in walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet and it does not look very crowded (at least at the end of November). There is also an Albert Heijn supermarket nearby (in walking distance).
HOUSE: After the main door (it’s not private, used by the neighbors upstairs as well), there are a few stairs (wide enough) and the house is at the first floor. That makes the house very accessible and comfortable. Then you arrive at the house door. You enter the living room, with a kitchen (equipped with a small refrigerator, microwave oven, kettle, stove, etc.), a big wooden table and a sofa that can be transformed to a double bed. By the window, you see the street, a kind of yard, couple of benches and other houses nearby.
There is another room with a double bed, a closet, a chest of drawers and the bathroom. Bathroom is spacious and well furnished. Both shower and shower cabin work well. No problem with the hot water, etc.
If there is a person who would sleep on the living room sofa, he/she should be aware of the fact that the bathroom is in the bedroom. So for going to the bathroom, one has to pass through the bedroom. Another detail: The bathroom door is a sliding one with no locks.
The furnishings and interior look new and well kept. Both kitchen and bathroom look pretty new. Both beds are comfy. The house is incredibly clean and comfy.
Hosts pay attention to tiny details and they are in continuous effort for making the house more effective, useful and comfortable.
For a week or longer period, it's perfect for two persons. It is still be OK for 3. But for 4 people, it may be a bit uncomfortable, especially because of the bathroom location.
Hint: Be careful not to not sit on the heating unit (radiator) in the main room. Just a friendly advice. :)
PRICE/PERFORMANCE VALUE: The house worths for its price indeed. Price/performance value is good.
LAST WORDS: I really became fond of the house and its hosts, so I would like to stay there in the future as well, if it's available. It was a real nice spot, with its location, comfort, cleanliness and cosiness. So I sincerely recommend the house. :)
