Eindhoven
is not one of the first cities that will come to mind if you want to visit the
Netherlands, maybe because it doesn't have the classic charm of Amsterdam or
Utrecht or maybe because the only reason you have heard of it is because of its
football team. There are though plenty of reasons to visit Eindhoven and if you decide to do so there is a place that will make your stay
in the city unforgettable! De Eindhovenaar!
Location
Looking at
the map of the city, one can see that De Eindhovenaar is located right in the
center of Eindhoven. This practically means you can go anywhere in the city
without having to walk for more than 15 minutes. The imposing Cathedral of
Eindhoven, Sint Catharinakerk, is right next to De Eindhovenaar, the main
square, Van Abbemuseum and Philips
Museum are located just 400 meters away, while the railway station, Philips
Stadion and the DAF museum are located just one kilometer away.
The excellent
location of De Eindhovenaar also implies a stunning view of the Cathedral,
which you can almost touch from your window!
First impressions
The first
thing that impressed me in De Eindhovenaar is its exceptional, modern style,
which also describes the entire city of Eindhoven. You can see this before you
even enter the apartments, observing the building and the entrance, which
reminds something between a shop window and a exhibition of modern art!
The
first place to see, entering our apartment after climbing a few stairs (these
cute, narrow, typical Dutch stairs), is the kitchen. A large, modern and fully
equipped kitchen. A kitchen with the most beautiful view across the city!
The apartments
De
Eindhovenaar consists of 7 fully-equipped apartments, which are ideal for
someone who travels to Eindhoven for a few days or even for those who want to
spend a longer time there. Each apartment has its own name and its own special
decoration while their size varies from 38 to 65sqm.
We stayed at the
"Frits", the rooftop penthouse, which, apart from incredible views
and a brand new kitchen, for which I have already spoken to you, has two bedrooms
(one with a single and one with a double bed), dining room, seating area, huge
windows and a private balcony.
In case that you will find in De Eindhovenaar,
your dream home, as it happened also to me, you may not be able to stay there
forever but you can get a piece of it back with you! What dp I mean? All the
objects of De Eindhovenaar are for sale, so if you liked a painting, a chair or
even the sofa, you can buy them!
Facilities
The central
idea behind De Eindhovenaar is to make the tenants feel like staying at their
own home. It does not have a reception; however, the owner contacted us several
times to give us information about both the apartment and the city. As soon as
we entered the apartment we also found a map with the city's major attractions
and a list of the best restaurants & cafes. Breakfast is not provided, but
you can prepare your own breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, where you
will find excellent quality coffee and tea, or try Meneer De Boer's excellent
breakfast, across the street.
