Self-catering stay in historic house of classical musicians in central Utrecht Netherlands |
Fully furnished rooms in lovingly restored turn-of-century Dutch monument house (8x8 meter) in central Utrecht, 20 min by train to Amsterdam, with views and slanted double-glazed roof windows next to a peaceful canal in the multi-cultural neighbourhood of Lombok, famous in the nineties for successful cultural integration.
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 Douw Egberts 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 sportsclub with regular classes and fitness equipment.
Second only to Amsterdam in terms of cultural activities, Utrecht is 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 afficionados.
High speed wireless internet access and high spin-rate washing machine provided. Ideal for single nonsmoker, no children, who has somewhere else to go during the day. 45 to 65 euros per day depending on circumstances and time of year. Share bathroom and separate toilet. Owners have own toilet and kitchen downstairs.
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. Euro, STG, US$ accepted as deposit by online bank transfer or PAYPAL.
Previous guests include concert pianists, professors, scientists, IT professionals, post-docs, doctoral candidates, entrepreneurs, and tourists from England, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, India, Singapore, Australia, South Africa, USA, Mexico, and Chile.
