| Renovated Dutch monument house next to canal in central Utrecht Netherlands |
This turn-of-century property has been renovated for artist residency where the owners are the artists in residence.
From mid-Oct 2010, the entire house is available for rent: three bedrooms, all with double-glazed roof-windows on middle floor. Until then, different rooms available on weekly basis. The rentals contribute towards the owners' dream of concert tours.
Short bike or bus ride from central train/bus/tram station "Utrecht Centraal" or a pleasant walk along canals. Free and plentiful parking under linden trees. Famous local pub facing the setting sun and canal.
Very conveniently located within walking distance of supermarkets, local shops of fresh vegetables and fruit, and a park and two libraries. On a breezy day you might smell fresh coffee from the coffee factory nearby. Otherwise it is a safe neighbourhood for jogging, walking, or cycling next to canals. On the other side of the canal is a popular sports club with regular classes and fitness equipment.
Second only to Amsterdam in terms of cultural activities, Utrecht is considered the centre of the Netherlands for public transport and 4th largest city (population nearly 300,000) and home of largest university and youngest population. Fast, direct train from Amsterdam Schiphol takes you there in less than 30 minutes for about 7 euros one way. Fast trains to Amsterdam Amstel station (nonstop, every 15 min).
We are well-travelled, open-minded mixed writer/musician couple who have bought this house to launch chamber music house concerts, with a growing network of culture vultures and other arts aficionados.
High speed wireless internet access and high spin-rate washing machine provided. Wooden floors throughout the house.
For the time being, this is a room within a house. However, the entire house can be let and/or exchanged for desired destination if and when owners go away, e.g. summer and winter periods. Otherwise, share the upstairs on a self-catering basis, to clean up after yourselves. Euro, STG, US$ accepted as deposit by online bank transfer or PAYPAL. Rate quoted is per person in the off-peak season.
DUST FREE ENVIRONMENT: NO SMOKING, NO PETS, no outdoor shoes worn inside.
Previous guests include concert pianists, professors, scientists, IT professionals, post-docs, doctoral candidates, entrepreneurs, conference delegates, and tourists from England, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, India, Singapore, Australia, South Africa, USA, Mexico, and Chile.
