House with caracter in old Rotterdam, Netherlands
Our house is built in 1920 and is full of original windows, ceilings and doors. We have a garden and friendly and quiet neighbours. It's spacious (200 m2.) and comfortable (4 floors, including basement). it contains a big living room, a new kitchen, a study, a new bathroom, four bedrooms and three toilets (on every floor). All rooms have central heating and the house is fully equipped (tv, stereo, video, etc.). 4 bikes and a car are at yours disposal.
Rotterdam attracts a great deal of international interest as a city of architecture - and that isn't just because of how rapidly its imposing skyline of offices and luxury high-rises is expanding.
A few square kilometres of the city centre offers a complete overview of what the twentieth century has produced in terms of modern architecture.
Hoek van Holland is a special seaside town. Its location is unique: at the significant North Sea coast and at the start of the New Waterway – the gateway to Rotterdam – where a constant flow of imposing sea-going ships set sail for the Rotterdam port. You can also relaxe at the sandy beaches. Only 20 minutes driving from our house.

About Our Family
We are a family of 4 people; two adults, a boy and a girl. Dirk (56) has his own company in urbanisme and Mariette (54) is a IT consultant at a university. Casper is 19 years, studies at the Technical University at Delft (Maths) and loves to play football. Olga is 16 years old and loves gymnastics.
We like to travel and discover foreign countries, cities and villages. We also like to try the good food and wines from the places we visite.
Besides relaxing on our holiday we like to do some activities as well like biking or Climbing (only for fun, not too difficult).
Lifestyle
We live in a big city. So, the girls in our family love to shop. We always like to wear the coolest clothes. Mariette has over 50 pairs of shoes and Olga wishes she will grow fast so that she can wear her mothers shoes.
Dirk likes his job as an urban planner and is quite famous about his Waterplein (look at www.urbanisten.nl). He loves to cook and enjoys eating it with a nice glass of wine. Casper loves to play his Playstation (FIFA, Fortnight) and likes to play socker. Olga loves gymnastics and is quite good in it.
