I had a great stay at this homestay. The location is fantastic and the host is very friendly and helpful. You’re staying in someone’s home, with a shared bathroom, and there are a few house rules (including no smoking), but that actually worked...

The host was very welcoming. On the day I arrived, I accidentally put in the wrong adress on Google maps and ended up on the other side of the city. It was already late so the host picked me up. The house is lovely, the shower is also very nice....

The city of Alkmaar is a beautifull city with an old city and canals. The beach is about 12 km from our house. Amsterdam is 40min by train. The station is about 20 min walk from our house. Bars, restaurants, supermarket are all around the corner or less then 10min walk. Alkmaar has its historical old town and canals. It's great to take a boattour, canoe, supboard and explore Alkmaar by water.
