“We are Paul and Norinda and live together with our cats. We’ve been living together in the Bethaniëndwarsstraat, where Paul has lived for more than 30 years, for more than 25 years.
We’ve become completely integrated into the neighbourhood and feel at home here. That’s why we’re happy to apply ourselves to the liveability in the area. We are really proud of our house, which has a gablestone that dates from 1623 and has never been moved or replaced. Our block of houses is visible even on the oldest maps of Amsterdam. It turns out that sailors used to spend the night here before they set sail for the Far East. The connection with history means that living here is really special for us.”
