FR2210802Un très bon échange pour une première fois, même si nos hôtes ne sont pas encore venus chez nous. La maison est idéalement placée, au calme dans une petite ville charmante et Amsterdam est très facile à rejoindre en train. Nous avons pu profiter aussi de balades à vélo le long du canal et d'une escapade à la mer. Un très bon séjour !
