Unique part of Holland absolutely worth visiting
Very pleasant contact with the owners. It were warm days and then the owners spontaneously brought an extra beach umbrella. This vacation / holiday park is beautifully landscaped and very quiet, away from the city, but the beautiful Hanseatic city of Deventer is close by. From the first rays of the sun you will be greeted by the many birdsong. The house is new and is absolutely modern and beautifully decorated. Nothing is missing. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is also a Weber charcoal grill outside. The bathrooms are large and bright, modern shower and fittings. Free broadband Internet (Wi-Fi) and modern large screen smart TV with lots of standard streaming services. Delicious top quality box spring mattresses. Whether with a few friends or with the family, it is great to stay here!

We really had an lovely time at Barry’s place, me and my husband were able to work while enjoying the lake view right in front of us, while my dog was sunbathing on the dock, and my 6 year old was fishing. We also went on the boat around. There are paddle boards to use, a canoe, you can walk around, etc.. During the night it was SO quiet.. Our dog is a bit reactive, so, it was so good that the dock is enclosed and my dog was able to enjoy off leash and we had no concerns about him going somewhere else. The place and neighbors are quiet as well, everybody minding their own business. Batty was such a great, responsive and proactive host that we really didn’t need to contact him for anything during our stay. He even built out something for our dog to be able to get out of the water easily and gifted my son with a fishing road… We will definitely come back.

Momo's Deluxe Apartment - De Pijp, Amsterdam

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay. I’m so glad I chose this instead of somewhere in the main tourist area—it gave us the chance to experience Amsterdam more like locals. The neighborhood is beautiful and centrally located, with so many great places within easy walking distance. The kitchen was excellent, the balcony was amazing for sitting, working, or simply relaxing, and the host was always responsive and helpful. One thing to keep in mind: if you’re traveling with large suitcases, have knee or mobility issues, or need to carry a double stroller up and down regularly, the stairs may be challenging. That said, steep staircases are a common feature of traditional multi-story homes in Amsterdam, so it’s something to be aware of rather than a reflection on the host or the property. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily recommend it.

Amazing stay and great Hosts
I recently stayed at this apartment in Amsterdam for 3 weeks and it was a fantastic experience. The location is ideal – centrally located yet quiet enough to relax after a busy day exploring the city. Everything you need is nearby: cafés, supermarkets, public transport, and many attractions. The apartment itself was clean, stylishly decorated, and well-equipped with everything you might need for a short stay – from a comfortable bed and modern bathroom to a fully functional kitchen. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The host was friendly, responsive, and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. All in all, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located home base in Amsterdam!

Een dikke 10 voor de accomodatie van Sandra. Een spiksplinter nieuw, heel gezellig chalet. We (+hondje Boris) voelden ons zeer welkom door het persoonlijke kaartje op tafel en een "goodie bag" speciaal voor Boris met iets lekkers en een bal. Ook stond er voor hem een placemat met water en voerbak en een honde-dekentje klaar. De communicatie met Sandra verliep zeer soepel. Ze wil echt alles doen om het je naar de zin te maken. Het chalet is gezellig en comfortabel, het ontbreekt je aan niks. Lekker bed en goede kussens. Van de omgeving hebben wij niet veel meegekregen. We waren er maar 2 nachten ivm familiebezoek. Wel boodschappen gedaan bij de Aldi in het nabijgelegen plaatsje Annen. Op 5 min rijden met de auto.
