Ewout (pronounced Ay-vout) was a spectacular host. He was most welcoming and did a wonderful job to prepare the space prior to my arrival. Upon arrival, he provided the option of choosing a key with or without a keyring (quite detailed).

This was an absolute gem of an Airbnb with a wonderful host and his family. Truly grateful to be able to enjoy my first couple of days in the Netherlands here. 10/10 would most definitely come back :)
