Monique was extremely hospitable and helpful. She provided us with lots of information on things to see and do in Amsterdam. Sail Amsterdam occurred in the middle of our stay which was both a blessing and a curse. The accommodation was spotless and right in the middle of the festivities which was great but because of bridge closures it disrupted public transport and made it a bit more difficult to get into the city centre. Monique very kindly drove us to where we could get a taxi to the airport when we left.
