Saskia and Maarten are long-time airbnb superhosts and we understand that guests want their privacy. We have carefully separated the spaces and common areas so that there is a real sense of individual private spaces. Although we live on the property, we highly respect your privacy and communicate normally only through your booking app unless we pass each other at some point - and then we will say hi! :-)
