My name is Christien Mathon. Do not hesitate to ask me questions at xtien1@gmail.com. Some socalled ‘cityfarmers’ frequent my garden to grow their vegetables.
Being a foreign student once myself, I learned to share and let houses. Since I am back in Holland (1990) I have let rooms in both Amsterdam and Tilburg, as well as partaking in Vrienden-op-de-fiets and Camp-in-my-garden. And in 2017 I am starting a more elaborate special (R)B&B, in combination with culture and very special ecological foods on request (from Woeste Goesting as well). I have allways enjoyed having visitors from all over the world.
There is a lot of comfort such as:
-different shoppingscenters both at 500m and even larger ones at 2km, as well as the citycentre of Tilburg,. At 5 km to here there is the border with Belgium (cheaper petrol and beer/tabacco).
-many restaurants, as Goirle is famous for them by locals, but also good takeaway’s
-free parking
-(international) busses at 400m
-a cultural centre at 300m (http://www.janvanbesouw.nl/) with a very modern library, workspaces, wifi and coffeecorners untill midnight, restaurant, cinema once a week, music and theatreperformances, a musicschool, many other events and tryouts before the larger cities
-recreation in Ecolap the garden.
Because the rooms are more often rented than free, I had to take the pictures with students (stuff) still in it… The entrance:
Both rooms have:
-a garden
-shelter for pushbikes
-own shower/bathroom
Room 1:
My lense is not wide enough to take the bottem of own shower (so this impression)
