Description
Bed & breakfast appartment.
Uniquely situated in the very center of the city. In a quiet street behind a gate, you hear no noise while you are living only 50 meters away from the Dam square.
The appartment is a self supporting unit in our house: large double bedroom, separate kitchen, bathroom, shower and toilet. (a third person is possible, please ask). Fresh breakfast is provided every day in the kitchen in the appartment, so you can eat at your own leisure.
Entrance is through our house to the appartment on the second floor (stairs). You get your own key and can come and go as you please.
We are a family with 4 children ((16, 14, 11 and 9 years of age) and are living happily in the center of Amsterdam.

But maps, protractors, astrolabes and globes, hollow inside and outside spheres, painted with figures and wonderfully funny illustrations. He makes the books for which sailors are grateful, he probes the shallows and warns for banks, winding creeks and bays ...
