“Karine was the best host you could ask for. She helped us manage the train schedules getting to Gouda, and was available to help along the way up until the moment we got there. She and her partner Mathon, met us at the train station platform with a very warm and friendly welcome and then walked us to our place. She showed us around the house and helped us with any sort of things we wanted information for which in our case were bike rentals. The house is exquisite. Remodeled, beautifully and practically furnished, Karine spared nothing with thoughts toward her guests. Black out curtains for all of the windows makes sleeping in perfect and the kitchen is very well stocked with both complimentary snacks and drinks as well as additional things that you could purchase including a selection of reasonably priced wines. She even welcomed us with a can of stroopwaffels as a free gift. Karine provides breakfast which she agreed to deliver whenever we liked and always included some selection of local favorites, like cheese, meats, freshly boiled eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice and croissants. We brought our two kids ages 9 and 11 and it worked well for us. The sofa bed was very easy to fold out and was no problem switching between sleeping and living room. I could imagine this place being a perfect romantic getaway for a couple as well. ”
