Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is calm and helpful (plus we have wonderful friends&family around who will help if help is needed). Even though there live many children of all ages, it is mostly quiet. There don't drive many cars on street in front of our house, since it is a play street and used by the neighbours only. A modern indoor pool is 200 meter away only, two playgrounds are around a few minutes to walk only. It is the perfect spot to start walks or to cycle and explore the area: The tiny Dutch village Arcen or Venlo, beautifully situated at the border of the Maas river, the beautiful landscape of the Lower Rhine Area with its forests, fields and agricultural touch.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We will leave our home clean and tidy for you - and we will be happy to get back to a clean and tidy home. :-)
If you are our guest in summer time, it would be nice if you could water the garden. No worries, we don't have English lawn, but if a few plants survive, it would be great!
