Read More...It was our first time to exchange houses and it went very well. We have met Douwe and Anjo because they came to us and stayed the night and we went to Alkmaar the next day. I knew the house because I was born in the same neighborhood. So I knew there were a lot of stairs. But the house was nice, cosy and very clean. And nearby everything you needed. It was a very good first house exchange.

Read More...We had a great time but it was a long time coming. It was delayed a year due to COVID. Alkmaar was in a very good location. We could go to City Center each day in Alkmaar to explore. The town was wonderful and we enjoyed the canals and the cheese market. We were able to see a festival the happens only once a year. It was great fun. We spent time in Amsterdam and Rotterdam and the city called Utrecht by train.We would be happy to entertain Douwe and Anjo in the future. I highly suggest this exchange for anyone who wants beautiful canals, great food, and very nice people.
