Description
This artist has lived in this room until the end of winter. For years she has been a painter, a creative genius, a clown, fond of psychomagic and pastries, a charismatic and multifaceted person, an artist by the perfect female-male dualism. Some of her works are still there, some others were sold, but in the room you can still breathe the scent of her , lover of high heels, of expensive perfumes, of a pipe to the scent of vanilla.
The painter's room is a small room with a loft bed, a comfortable spring mattress to rest well, and two windows overlooking the garden of the Dutch grandmother that lives on the ground floor of our building. Colors, pencils, brushes, perfumes, objects of an artist on a long journey in search of himself, ready to paint the canvas of his life.
In the room you will find tea, mint or rose petals tisane, to relax after a day of sightseeing in Amsterdam.
The room has a washing machine that in a midsummer night was transformed into a piece-of-art home appliance.

After going all around the world discovering place...island...food and treasures a big storm forced his boat to dock in Amsterdam. During that storm Peter lost his compass but not his desire to discover new place...small island ...rivers and canals. Every day with his fabulous boat Peter goes everywhere in Amsterdam to find his way to return back to his land. You can set out with him to discover the beauty of Amsterdam overlooking the street and the life of this city from another point of view. Peter is a good story teller and you will forget for 90 minutes who you are....floating in the river like a child in the crib
A rare opportunity to visit Amsterdam quietly from the water, and to discover the most (and least) popular fluvial ways of this city.The captain will show you around, and will satisfy your curiosity about the city, Holland in general and the everyday life of the Dutch people.
