We all have reasons for traveling. And staying in apartments instead of hotels. We like apartments for the stories that are inevitably embedded in them, the opportunity to share a tiny part of somebody's dwelling with personal touch and hopefully contribute to Keeping Thing Whole as Strand would have it.

Carolina's apartment is a bright, gentle space where one can rest, read, reflect and work if need be.
It is part of an interesting Amsterdam heritage, with a wonderful park across the street and comfortable walking distance to whatever activities one chooses to partake in in the city.

Carolina is there for any small or large thing one might need. We stayed over the New Year with our 13 year all daughter who was very happy to see her big brother who at the moment studies in Amsterdam. So this time over it was more a family reunion than traveling and Carolina's apartment was perfect for that too.
