Renewal Date: 31/Jul/2023
We were members of Holidaylink 10 years ago, too, and exchanged four times.
We have two sons, born in 1995 and 1996. We live together with our youngest son, who actually lives in the neighbouring house connected to ours. Our oldest son is studying medicine in Maastricht. My wife is responsible for organizing concerts. She also takes care of all practical matters in our home. I work for a foundation for horticulture innovation and develop systems for air cleaning with plants, new building typologies with greenhouses and circular economy and future food production units.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Quiet house with park view and garden, birds will wake you in the morning if you keep the windows open. Our garden has a park view, it feels very private as the canal between our garden and the park is more than 20 meters . wide. You can choose whether you want to sit in a shady place or in the sun next to the water.
Recently renovated with modern kitchen, double glazing and energy efficient heating. Upstairs we have one spacious bedroom for a couple and a study with a bed for a single person, we can add another bed if needed. We love design, we collected our furniture at auctions and fleamarkets.
We have many plants indoors with special watering systems for easy maintenance.
Quite unusual for Amsterdam is that we have two private parking spaces, so you do not have to pay parking fees. To visit the city however, we recommend to use public transport or use bicycles.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our direct neighbourhood is very quiet and green, most houses are just two storeys high, a bit further away high apartment blocks have been renovated and many have colourful art on the facades. Amsterdam is cycling capital of the world, we can comfortably cycle to the city centre on separate bike lanes and only after 6 km's we come across the first traffic light near Amstel train station.
