Great Place to Stay
House was clean, nice, quiet and in a great location. Easy walking distance to stores, restaurants, the train station, and any other notable place. I much preferred staying in Alkmaar and commuting to other locations when necessary as opposed to staying in loud and dirty Amsterdam. Owners were friendly and helpful. Next time I'm in the Netherlands it will be my first choice of place to stay.

Es war sehr schwierig für uns mit der Agentur (fewo direkt) in Kontakt zu treten, da auch eine zweite Agentur (belvilla) noch involviert war. Also ein sehr undurchsichtiges Verfahren. Wir hatten Fragen und diese wurden vorab nie so richtig geklärt. Auch im Nachhinein wurde ich von zwei Seiten gefragt, wie ich den Aufenthalt finde. Was die Anzeige angeht, so konnte man nie ein Bild vom 3. Schlafzimmer sehen, da zweimal das gleiche Bild für zwei unterschiedliche Zimmer gezeigt wurde. Die Terrasse und auch ein kleiner Balkon im 1. Stocke waren wirklich toll. Im Haushaltsraum gibt außer einer Geschirrspülmaschine und Waschgelgenheiten, sogar einen zusätzlichen Kühlschrank mit Eisfach. Der Kühlschrank in der Küche ist schon in die Jahre gekommen, sehr wackelig und das Licht funktioniert nur manchmal darin, da es einen Wackelkontakt gibt. Uns hat das nicht so sehr gestört.Was man wissen sollte: Das Haus an sich ist toll, aber man befindet sich an einer viel befahrenen Straße. In dem Schlafzimmer, in dem das Doppelbett steht, kann man nicht das Fenster öffnen, wenn man lärmempfindlich oder lichtempfindlich ist. Bei den beiden anderen Schlafzimmern ist das kein Problem. Für meine Mutter (82 Jahre) war die Treppe zu steil und für einen Klobesuch (im Erdgeschoss) in der Nacht eine echte Herausforderung.Unser Empfang war sehr herzlich und persönlich, was wir toll fanden.Auch als es ein Problem mit dem Wasserhahn gab, wurde sofort reagiert und gehandelt. Das war spitze.Vielen Dank

Unser Aufenthalt war gut, viel Platz. Die Treppe war gewöhnungsbedürftig.Wir waren nicht weit vom Zentrum. Der Käsemarkt, am Freitag, ist empfehlenswert. Auch die Ausflüge nach Enkhuizen ( Zuiderzeemuseum) oder Volendam oder Zaanse Schans
