We absolutely loved our stay at Rutger and Carla's place. From the peaceful comfort of the space, to the ease of getting to and from the city center, to the delightful homemade liqueur and gin infusion, to the tranquility and fresh tomatoes from the garden, and to the impressive selection of vinyl, we can highly recommend staying here!
We greatly appreciated Rutger being able to accommodate meeting us much later than we had planned due to travel delays. It was a delight to have Rutger's friendly welcome and tour of the home.
Immediately we had to try some of the provided home made gin infusion, and our travel stress was gone in an instant! We then got to making vinyl selections for the week. We spun records every minute we were awake during our week stay and still only scratched the surface of the collection! We also enjoyed being able to use fresh tomatoes from the garden for our dinner one night, and just sit out by the very garden that offered us sustenance and flavor!
The neighborhood is perfect for having accessibility to the city center while also being just far enough away to have a peaceful retreat. The 19, stopping just a block away, got us just about everywhere we needed to go and we never had to wait more than 10 minutes for it. The neighborhood itself had a lot to offer when we were taking breaks from the busier city center. We enjoyed walking through Park Frankendael around the corner including a surprise find of a secret garden. We were well supplied by a couple good markets and shopping in the area. And we enjoyed eating out just a block away at Mr. and Mrs. Watson so much, we had to go twice!
We look forward to our next stay and getting through some more of that vinyl collection at Rutget and Carla's!
