Please share something about the history of your present bed and breakfast.
We have been running the bed and breakfast since April 2001. We came back from working in Scotland and decided to open our antique shop, which is a hobby, and the rooms above it. The building has been used as an art and thriller book gallery. So we have been the owners as from the start of the business. Both of us have a catering and hotel background so the guesthouse is a second nature for us. The antique shop is like our reception desk where people check in and out.

We are located in the historic centre called Jordaan. Close to the central station and just minutes walk to the centre of town where the royal palace is.
