About this property

Our extremely well located and very spacious home is right in the center of Rotterdam's cultural and museum neighborhood.

We are just 2 blocks away from world class shopping and the Erasmus Medical Center. We are in view of the best cultural street in the Low Countries: the Witte de Wittstraat, filled with 45 cafes, restaurants, and art galleries.

The world famous Doelen concert hall with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra is within a stone's throw.

We have 2 guest rooms in the top floor apartment that sleep two each with very comfortable queen size beds. One room can also be made up as two single beds if requested. There is a large private bathroom with separate bath and shower and a skylight. We offer a mini kitchen with two refrigerators and a microwave. (If you wish you may have our delicious hot or cold breakfast made to order at a very friendly extra charge).
Our rooms are spacious, elegant and quiet. On the top floor you have your own balcony terrace overlooking an 95 year old sycamore tree that survived the bombing of the city in 1940 and is protected by the council of Rotterdam.

We do have the typical steep Dutch stairs that are everywhere in the Netherlands but you are rewarded with beautiful views over our private garden and on the front of the house the view of the City.

A stay with us includes a half hour complimentary walking tour of the neighborhood to orient yourself with recommendations for our favorite local places to eat and drink.

Be sure and visit the exciting Rotterdam harbor which is only a short walk away and zoom over the Maas river on a fast boat taxi.

Stay a couple of days or longer.
(We have a two night minimum stay.)
There is so much to discover and enjoy in vibrant Rotterdam!
You won't want to leave!

About the host

Your host

I was born near the mighty Missouri
river in Sioux City, Iowa and grew up in South Dakota. When I was 24 years old I moved to Europe and settled in Rotterdam. I have been a psychotherapist and a professional storyteller and now I am an inn keeper like my grandparents were in Georgia in the US. Authentic hospitality is important to me and I love meeting people from all over the world and showing them my adopted city of Rotterdam. This city holds a special place in my heart as I have watched it rebuild itself after the bombing in WW2. The new architecture, the friendliness of the people and the great vibe are all wonderful reasons for a stay in Rotterdam.

Why they chose this property

This townhouse is located in the very heart of Rotterdam and you can walk everywhere. The back of the house is very quiet even though you are in the heart of things. The location makes everything so easy. You don't need a car or even the fabulous public transportation that is readily available.

What makes this property unique

For a girl from the prairie, being able to walk to the 6 world class museums in my neighbourhood, visit the 35 restaurants around the corner, and skip over to the river with the boat bus and ferry to the windmills, the concert hall and theatres all make this location so special.
