"All of the above." That summarizes our stay at Jan Laurens and Robbrecht's guesthouse.
A unique custom-built miniature structure built by Robbrecht himself, and infused with a craftsman's care to detail made our stay in Rotterdam very memorable. Set in an manicured garden with a small canal running behind a hedge, you will find yourself transported to an idyllic setting where you will scarcely believe that you have full access to transport and amenities on the street in front.
Thoughtful touches include spa soaps, fresh bottles of wine, soft drinks, coffee and tea, as well as chocolate left by the hosts.
And, of course, access to the pair of "Oma Fiets" is definitely a highlight, and allowed us to explore both the neighbourhood and Rotterdam the Dutch way: on bike!
Robbrecht welcomed us and orientated us, but we had full privacy to simply enjoy the setting on our own.
There are no cooking facilities: neither microwave or hotplate, but this didn't matter to us. And the large kitchen sink doubles as the bathroom vanity; again not an inconvenience, but something to know about.
Amongst the many unique places where we have stayed, this ranks right up there at the top!
