Dear Emmett & All--We did indeed have a wonderful time and especially
enjoyed the little extras you guys so kindly provided. It made the
last evening VERY nice indeed. It really hit the spot. This vacation was to
celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary so that really helped in the
celebration. We're already taking about coming back to see you in late
fall/early winter but we may have to wait a little longer depending on the
dollar's situation. We just love staying with you guys, and we never get
tired of all of Amsterdam's charms.
We really enjoyed the place...the decor is great! The safety poles are a
good idea...we had laughed that if we were drinkers too we'd probably have
ended up in the canal given how the windows are placed so low. All your
additions are good...maybe for the bathroom instead of a shelf & mirror you
could use a combination unit...we call it a medicine chest and it's
basically shelves with a mirrored door. I'm sure you have it too but not
sure what you would call it. Microwave instructions are good, and I'd also
add instructions for the cook top. In addition, many people in US have never
used a gas stove since many people use electric stoves instead and so are going to
be even more hopeless than us on the whole issue.
One very, very small thing was that there was no way to plug in the
hairdryer anywhere that you could then see a mirror to do your hair. I
couldn't find an outlet anywhere in the bathroom. You could solve that with
a hairdryer with a longer cord since that tall mirror is right there near
the entry door and there is an outlet on the far wall. Also, we used the
tree stump as a coffee table for our drinks and things but could have used a
bigger table to move over in front of us while sitting on the couch. All
minor, but you asked for ways to make even more comfortable. It was really
great to have all those pillows...those really help make the place different
from a hotel, which never has enough.
We're back at our work grind this morning, and the pile on my desk is oh so
high, so I'd better get back to it. Sure you don't have any job openings?
Although I noticed you all had desks piled high with paper too :)
Be on the lookout for a little thank you gift for all you guys coming your
way in the next couple weeks or so. Nothing big, but just a little
something to say we really appreciate how much at home you all make us feel.
Best wishes to all, ....Vicki & Terry Ellis

Hi Brendan,
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everything you did for us last weekend. From the champagne, to the c...g-film, to the coffee-shop advice, and just general friendliness, you were an integral part in making our trip a fantastic success.
And that's not even mentioning AMSTERDAM HQ which was absolutely perfect !!!
We really enjoyed ourselves - I really can't thank you enough.
I have recommended you to .... oh lose count .... loads of people - and I know my mates will do the same. Not that you are short on customers I reckon!
If you will have us back I would definitely like to rent Amsterdam HQ again !
Is it free over new year ?
Cheers Brendan,
Best wishes,
Dan

Brendan & crew
Just wanted to thank you for looking after us last week - we all had a great time staying in 'the loft' and I'm sure we'll be back.
Back to work today and wishing I was still sitting outside Cafe del Mondo :-(
See you again soon.
Tall Paul
