Lovely apartment. Very clean and well equipped. Good communication with the owner. Highly recommended.

Very Good!

It is a fine apartment and Volendam is a great place. The interior of the apartment is very fine, but focus is needed on the lights and dimmers inside.

The condo itself was modern and very much like the pictures. It was in a delightful town. Getting to the condo is somewhat inconvenient from Amsterdam. Get ready to pay more money on transportation to take the 316 bus. Checkin was somewhat irritating trying with Google maps and unclear instructions to find a restaurant to get the keys. The key to the condo was weird. We found it hard to open the door. When we mentioned this the owner she accused us of using the key to the storage room. I repeatedly told her the issues and she blamed us and said that other people didn’t have this issue and that the lock was new. We are college educated and well traveled, we aren’t morons. The keys are numbered.. duh. At one point we were in the rain trying the key and the door would not open. The blaming did not end there. She accused us of writing on the wall. That NEVER happened. I have an 18 year old and a mature well traveled 6 year old who stopped writing on the wall at 3 years old. She even implied that she had to paint the entire wall because if it. I took pictures of the place as we left it, it was a false claim. Moreover she had touch up paint in the cabinet. I guess they don’t have magic erasers in the Netherlands. ?? or cleaning products?? Also who paints an entire wall because of a few marks?? The kitchen equipment was not adequate to cook with. The water in the shower was barely warm. The bikes were a plus but there was no instruction about how to unlock them. I literally asked some nice Dutch people in the neighborhood to help me figure it out. When I texted about this the owner misunderstood my English. Her English skills are so much better than my Dutch skills but she didn’t understand some key words and phrases. My husband and I are an interracial couple and let’s just say there were some not so nice stares. The supermarket is three minutes by bike and the seaside nearby boardwalk was lovely. We did fall in love with the Netherlands but we will find other accommodations for future vacations.

Clean, very good location. Good host, very nice amenities and a very cozy town.

The location was very good, close to lots of amenities, bed was comfortable. The appliances are very different from ones in Canada

30 meters to the ocean front promenade with many bars and restaurants; people are so friendly, a nice change. 15 minute drive to ocean for walking or running or biking. Super market, butcher, several bakeries all within five minutes walking. Vivian was readily available for questions we had. Her hubby came over once to help us out too. All in all a super nice apartment, location, amenities, atmosphere...the real Holland at heart. Will be coming back! Thank you Vivian and hubby.
