Tjandra's reviews
As a host (16)“The house was just next to a canal, in a calm neighborhood, 20 to 30 minutes bike ride from the city center with nice cycling routes. The house was very practical for a family and we enjoyed it a lot !”
“We had a fantastic time this summer in Tjandra\'s beautiful huge house full of toys! It is close to the tram, so you can reach the city centre in 20 mins. Amsterdam is a very nice city for a family with children. You can even ride bikes by the canal just in front of the house. We had a really lovely and comfortable stay.”
“We enjoyed a lovely week in Amsterdam, staying in this house with our family. The facilities for families are excellent, a good playing area is nearby. Our 2 year old son had a great time with the all the available toys in the house :) For the rest, the house has a lot of character and we felt very welcome. The owners are experienced home-swappers and know exactly how to arrange everything in a practical way.”
“Exchanging with Erwin, Tjandra and all their family was a really great experience. We had a great pleasure to welcome them in our house before discovering theirs. It’s a wonderful, peaceful and perfectly equiped house where we spent so pleasant holidays. The apartment is very close from all you may need and you can go very quickly to Amsterdam by car, tramway or bike. It was all set up to welcome us at best and help us to discover the city. When we came home, all was perfect : Tjandra and Erwin had taken the biggest care of our apartment. CĂ©line et Jc”
“Nous avons passĂ© un excellent moment Ă Amsterdam: la maison est agrĂ©able, lumineuse et spacieuse. Elle est très bien situĂ©e dans un quartier calme, proche du centre ville et des commerces. Nous avons fait du vĂ©lo pendant tout le sĂ©jour grâce au triporteur dans lequel on peut mettre jusqu'Ă 4 enfants. Au retour notre maison Ă©tait impeccable. Je recommande vivement un Ă©change avec Tjandra et Erwinn.”
“Tjandra et son Mari possèdent une maison traditionnelle proche du centre d'Amsterdam, dans un quartier calme et verdoyant. Le tramway et les vĂ©los sont des moyens de transports très faciles Ă utiliser au coeur de la capitale Hollandaise. La maison est très agrĂ©able, et l'accueil de tjandra est exceptionnel. Merci encore Ă elle! (nous n'avons pas rencontrĂ© son Ă©poux mais il doit certainement ĂŞtre comme Tjandra) Amsterdam est une capitale, calme et bien organisĂ©e, pleine de surprises et d'espaces verts et d'aires de jeux; les Hollandais ont Ă©tĂ© très accueillants, une ville riche de rencontres....super echange, a conseiller vivement!!!”
“Nous avons passĂ© une très belle semaine au printemps 2013 Ă Amsterdam. Belle et confortable maison, les dĂ©placements en vĂ©lo grâce au cargobike avec les 2 enfants très pratiques. Une magnifique ville et les tulipes. Un grand merci pour Tjandra et sa famille pour sa gentillesse.”
“I would like to express my satisfaction for the flat exchange I had in Amsterdam. It was a very convenient place to stay, easy reachable from the central station, a very cosy house and a good starting point to discover the outstanding variety of things to do in Amsterdam : ice-skating, museums, ride in the countryside... I would much recommend an exchange with this family.”
“Ma famille et moi avons passĂ© un excellent sĂ©jour chez Tjandra. La maison est très agrĂ©able et dans un quartier rĂ©sidentiel très sympa. Nous avons louĂ© des vĂ©los et pu faire le trajet jusqu'au centre d'Amsterdam facilement. La communication avec Tjandra Ă©tait top, en plus elle parle couramment français ce qui nous a bien aidĂ©! Merci encore pour ce merveilleux sĂ©jour chez vous!”
“Our first experience of home swapping with Tjandra and Edwinn was a real success on every aspects. Their house is spacious, cozy and well located close to Amsterdam city centre. The good acccesibility with both bikes or public transport is very convenient. Tjandra and Edwin have been very welcoming with kind attentions and arranging to make our stay great (i.e. they lent us their transport passes). We have spent wonderful 15 days and we are looking forward to do that again !”
“Superbe Ă©change avec Tjandra et sa famille, leur maison est très agrĂ©able et lumineuse, proche du centre d'Amsterdam en transports en commun mais au calme, le long d'un canal. Elle dispose de tout ce que nous pouvions avoir besoin pour notre grande famille et en plus, Tjandra parle francais ce qui a largement facilitĂ© nos Ă©changes! J'espere que vous avez profitez autant que nous de cet Ă©change! ;) Merci pour tout!”
“Prachtige uitwisseling gehad; voor ons beiden voor het eerst in Nederland. Een ruim en schoon huis dat van alle gemakken is voorzien. Toplocatie om met het openbaar vervoer de highlights van Amsterdam te verkennen. Communicatie verliep ook perfect. Kortom: bedankt voor de prachtige week en zeer aan te bevelen!”
“From the beginning to the end, this exchange was as simple as great. The house is vast, comfortable and perfect for families. It's really easy to go to the center of Amsterdam or anywhere else in the NL from there. To make it simple : thanks Tjandra and the family and we can only highly recommend anyone to get in touch !”
“WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME IN THIS AMAZING HOUSE AND THE AREA. THE PLACE WAS VERY CONVENIENT AS IT WAS NOT FAR FROM THE CITY CENTRE AND THE AREA WAS CALM AND PEACEFUL. WE ENJOYED THE GARDENS OF THE HOUSE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. THE TRAM WAS VERY NEAR AND THE BUSES TOO, SO IT WAS EASY TO GET TO THE CENTRE. THE HOUSE WAS CLEAN, VERY BIG AND IT WAS NICE TO STAY THERE, WE SPEND 10 UNFORGETABLE DAYS!!! THANK YOU TJANDRA FOR BEING SO NICE AND FRIENDLY AND FOR ALLOWING US TO EXPERIENCE SUCH A NICE TIME IN YOUR IMPRESSIVE HOUSE. YOU HAVE A NICE FAMILY, HOUSE, CITY,COUNTRY... CONGRATULATIONS!! GREETINGS FROM ANNA AND ALL HER FAMILY FROM VALENCIA. BIG HUG TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.”
“We would highly recommend an exchange with this cheerful family of five. We spend 10 days in their three-floor house in Duivendrecht,15-20 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam, and we enjoyed it very much. The house is big, clean and comfortable,a sort of wooden-painted white dollhouse especially suitable for children. It is located in a quiet street, skirting a placid canal, and it is easy reacheable from Schipol Airport. The bus stops (9 and 41) are 5-10 minutes walking, so its very easy to get to the City centre. Thank you Erwin and Tjandra for this opportunity you gave us!”

Neighbourhood
Close to centre of Amsterdam but evenly close to nature, parks, public swimming pools, etc. We live in a quiet street, filled with families and young children.

The beach is 30 minutes by train (from central station).
