Neighbours were very helpful, and we found lots of helpful tourist information when we arrived. Definitely recommend a trip to Amsterdam, and a stay at Karin and Wijnand's place.

Read More...Karin and Wijnand's apartment is perfect, its double exposure makes it bright all day, and its location is ideal. Slightly away from the effervescence of the city. You can quickly get to the typical Amsterdam canals but also discover a lesser known and equally pleasant part of the city. The proximity to Noord Amsterdam and the boat to get there is a real advantage. The apartment is very comfortable and functional. The bicycles at our disposal make it very pleasant to move around. Karin and Wijnand had prepared everything to make our arrival smooth and the communication was excellent. We had a perfect 10 days there. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We offer a modern apartment (maisonette; 115 m2) on the fourth and fifth floor in a quiet area, in former days the old harbour of Amsterdam. We are overlooking the river IJ, where lots of boats pass by.
There is a sunny balcony and also a double sofabed (140x200)for a third person in one of the 2 livingrooms. In the neighbourhood we have restaurants, shops and public transport, which brings you in no time to the city centre. The North Sea beach is 35 km. from our apartment. Volendam and Marken are around 20 km., this is also a nice trip by bike.
