B&B 't Buitenkansje

The space Naomi offers exceeded all my expectations, an annex to the house with all the comforts of a mini apartment. In addition, the ecological residential neighborhood is a bonus..

Everything was more than perfect.

This accommodation is in a residential area away from the usual tourist hotspots but easily accessible to Amsterdam by car or train. By train, there is a 20 minute walk from the station through a unique Dutch townscape. A very quiet, relaxing and welcoming place to stay with its own entrance. A comfortable room with a kitchen area. There is a coffee machine, a range of good teas and a microwave. Breakfast, brought to your room is very tasty. A bathroom goes with the room but for a shower you need to arrange a time to use Naomi"s own bathroom next door. Not a problem. There is a strong sense of environmental awareness throughout.

Nothing.

Almere is a slightly peculiar city, and this property is quite far from the sort of centre of the city. If that doesn't bother you, and you need a good value place to stay, this is a good bet. And the host explains everything, and makes you feel very welcome.

Actually, I stayed there for a very short time, arriving at 9PM and leaving at 8AM, just one night. Still so, Naomi gave me personal attention and helped me in what I needed.

The entrance space, where the access to toilet and the refrigerator are located, can be seen from outside (although nobody saw me). Some kitchen paper would be helpful for people who prepare food in the room.

Naomi is an exceptionally friendly host. I needed a quiet short stay and I got it. Breakfast and complimentary coffee & tea were a pleasant addition. Value for money can not be beaten.

While I did not experience discomfort while sleeping I still prefer regular bed to folding one.

While the location was not in the city center, that's actually a huge benefit, because I couldn't believe where the small apartment was located - it was a very small hub of houses, surrounded by beautiful nature in a very calm and chill neighborhood. I should also mention that the host, Naomi, was incredibly kind and accommodating as well. I had everything I could possibly need in my room - from assortments of teas, to a refrigerator, small oven and even a bluetooth speaker!

The only thing that I can list as a con (it's a nitpick, honestly) is that there wasn't a shower in the small bed apartment and you had to go to a different location for that purpose. The apartment did have a tiny and cute bathroom though, so that kinda made up for it, but it would've been a lot more convenient for there to be a shower as well.

Cosy homy feeling, comfortable and large room, breakfast is great and friendly host.

The bathroom is in the main house next door, so to take a shower you need to go outside to the next-door. Inconvenient. This wasn't mentioned when booking. And you need to make an appointment to have a shower.

Breakfast was excellent.
