Description de notre maison d'échange
Beautiful 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home on ground and first floors. (First & second floors for Americans.) Ground floor: large open space that includes living and dining rooms; french doors open up to garden (60 square meters). Fully stocked kitchen (we like to cook and bake) with windows looking out on garden. Large primary bedroom has king-size bed and side room with leaded glass window. Back bedrooms: smaller single (bed 120 cm wide) and larger with comfortable sofa-bed that doubles as office; both have access to balcony that overlooks garden. Well-tended private garden with outdoor kitchen (Weber) and dining. (Depending on weather, we might need you to water plants.) Walk to major parks (Vondel Park & Rembrandt Park), shopping and cafes. Cycle (10 minutes) to Museum Square (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum) and Concertgebouw. Because of our art collection and the quality of our furniture, we prefer not to have children, unless they're exceptionally well-behaved.

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Great neighborhood, filled with local shopping and cafes, with access to parks, beautiful vistas, and bike routes that lead quickly to countryside - including grazing bison! - within15 minute cycling. Ten - fifteen minutes other directions on the bike leads to Amsterdam's major museums and entertainment centers (loads of theatres, film houses, music performance centers from the Concertgebouw to Paradiso). Three minutes walk to tram and bus stops. National Geographic calls our our tram line - tram #2 - one of the best tram lines in the world; it passes directly by Museum Square, Leidesplein, and the Royal Palace, ending at the Central Station. For golfers: our sons golf, so can help you arrange this, if you're keen.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
close (walking distance) to great cafes, take-out (Indonesian, sushi, Greek, etc.) and restaurants, ranging from modest to Michelin star dining, and Amsterdam's major parks. On bike or with the tram, you're at world-famous museums and concert halls within 10 minutes. But we're also close to loads of biking and walking paths that take you worlds away from busy urban scenes.

Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.
We love children, but our art collection and furniture are not really child-friendly. If you have a really well-behaved child, we are open to a discussion. Cleanliness and care are important to us - we will treat your home with great care and leave it at least as clean as we find it. It's also important to us that our cleaners maintain a decent living standard, so we employ them year-round, whether we're there or not. Our preferred arrangement is that you also continue your cleaning service while we're in your home. Chances are that you won't have to do anything to keep the garden looking nice. If it doesn't rain sufficiently, we will ask you to water the plants outside - easily done.
