In the middle of Alkmaar centre, next to the canal
We had a great and fantastic stay! The location is excellent, and the apartment is beautifully designed with great attention to detail. Perfect hosts – thank you for a wonderful time!

2-room apartment + 2 e-bikes
We had a good time at the place and felt comfortable. The apartment was as described, small, but equipped with everything you need and well located. We particularly liked the fact that we were allowed to use the bicycles. Michael was very friendly and always responded quickly to messages.

CASA 23 – Stylish apartment with private terrace
The apartment was perfect for our short trip to the Netherlands and Eva was a great host. We will be happy to come back! 😊

Beautiful Loft in Historic Center
Lovely place and Alkmaar is a lovely Dutch town

Citycenter Historical Hotspot
Linda was a very kind host who always responded quickly to messages! It was noticed that she put a lot of effort into furnishing the apartment. The apartment is very quaint and cozy. You could not live more centrally in Alkmaar: shops, restaurants, etc. can be reached in less than 2 minutes. Unfortunately, the church tower clock strikes every quarter of an hour at night, which was a little difficult at night. Linda provided us with earplugs for this. But the beds were very cozy!

Had a nice stay at Aranka's apartment. It was clean, tidy and modern. The apartment is within walking distance of the city center, yet you don't notice it in the apartment. It's quiet! Had a pleasant stay!

Cozy cottage, Alkmaar city center with parking
Edzo's little house was really great, lovingly decorated and everything you needed. We felt right at home. Super central and yet nicely secluded and quiet area. The old town is a 5-minute walk. Edzo was a great host and he was always quick to help when we needed something. We would come back.😁
