Lovely home, third floor (so very light) in the south of Amsterdam. In front of the house is a small square, playground for little kids. In the morning (when sunny) we wake up with breakfast at the balcony (I'm a non smoker but smoking is of course possible at the balcony), during the day the sun gets in front of the house till late.

2 bedrooms, and 1 small tv room with a couch as an extra bed. Small kitchen with everything necessary. Toilet and shower separated. Possible to use our two bikes.

From to time to time the house of Hein in Haarlem (15 minutes from Amsterdam, virtually on the coast) is available as a double option. This house has a nice living room with a small kitchen, a master bedroom and a children's room with a double bed, large bathroom and a tiny patio. Enjoy the beach and the dunes on your bike and discover this beautiful ancient city.

We are Ismene (41) and Hein (45). Together we have 3 children. Ismene has a 15 year old son and Hein two daughters aged 8 and 6.
Ismene is a operations manager at a former shipyard on the northern banks of the IJ. Larger than 10 football fields, the NDSM wharf is now a center for underground culture in Amsterdam. Hein is a new media and arts project manager.

For the summer 2013 we've found a family destination. What we are looking for now is a nice home away from home for Ismene and her son, near a beach or in a city (Spain, Portugal..) for a long weekend.
The two of us like to exchange a week in Berlin, Stockholm or Copenhagen without kids.

All year round: Just the two of us are looking for nice apartments in different cities for weekend getaways, so surprise us.
