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.

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
