We had a great stay in the house of Annemarie. As the weather was very good during our 10 days stay, we could enjoy our morning coffee on the terrace at the canal every day. We enjoyed sitting there so much, that totally forgot the time watching the boats and sometimes bigger container ships passing by. The old bridge, that had to be opened for almost every ship, was our personal highlight every time. Also the nature with a variaty of ducks, herons, birds, bumblebees and even a parrot colony reached our hearts.
But be aware of the mosquitos! Thankfully we were warned and kept the doors closed in the evening, and the mosquito nets installed in the bedroom and kitchen did theyr job very well.
The bike highway that is directy in front of (!) the front door brings you to Rotterdam city in less than half an hour. Or you ride on your bike in the other direction and visit Schiedam or Delft. Both beautiful citys. But also a busstation is nearby.
The small town of Overschie is also worth a walk. We enjoyed the sunset sitting on an bench behind the church.
The Airport of Rotterdam is nearby but there is not much traffic. You also do not perceive the industrial area on the other side of the canal, because there are many trees inbetween.
As Delfthavenseweg it is a bike highway, we do not recommend to park your car in front of the door even if you are only unload your luggage. But there is a parking lot over the brige witch is really nearby and you can even recharge you electric car.
I could tell much more but I do recommend come to the nice styled real dutch house and do enjoy your stay by yourself.
Best regards
