City trams converted into 4 separate accommodation units - Frank and Irma Appel have created 4 wonderfully themed tram bedrooms in either end of 2 city centre tram railcars, that used to run on the streets of Amsterdam and Germany.
With double bed, shower and toilet facilities and a sink top unit for drinks and snacks, these represent a fantastic Bed and Breakfast location.
There are four different themed compartments; Italian (smoking), French (smoking), English (non smoking) or American (non smoking).
Next to the trams is the Appel house, Controversy - named after their love of the similarly titled Prince album. You can't help but join in the lifestyle that Frank and Irma have created! They themselves sleep inside a London Double Decker bus, installed in the living room, and their kitchen and breakfast area is a converted French van. Their house is decorated with cars, and motor paraphernalia.
Outside the house, there are 2 trams, and a third railway carriage currently undergoing rebuild. There is also a Mig fighter plane – providing a completely surreal view of the property from the surrounding flat land around Hoogwoud.
They provide a library, that looks like a UFO – but is actually the escape pod from an Oil Rig. If you're arriving by train and planning to say several nights, ask Irma if she's able to pick you up – or arrange a taxi from the local station.
Both Frank and Irma are incredibly friendly, and staying here is certainly worth the trip to escape the busy Amsterdam life for a couple of nights.
