Accommodation
small room with balcony or have daybed in living room..appartement just off prinsengracht / historic center,
Happy to cook 1 or 2 meals a day and provide food.
What else ...
I have already hosted 8 volunteers to our mutual enjoyment. 20 minutes walk from central station , a safe area for woman , its a lovely historic neighbourhood with lots of canals and things to visit , also access to a private garden. Its an old house and i have neighbours and I get up around 7 am,- bed time around 10.30 . so not suitable for party animals.I enjoy if someone can enjoy the work ; work independently and take themselves off to enjoy the city.Friendlyness and co-operation (giving and receiving) are important to me. I enjoy showing some of the places i enjoy ,cultural centers,swimming pool ,gym/concerts,bike rides .Smoke-free house. I normally have a siesta after the morning work is done - so a quite couple of hours in the flat. Some folk have down time then - others take themselves off . As I live close to airports(Schipol) and central train and bus station it may suit someone who has an other placement at the beginning or end of their stay …..
