// I’M A PRIVATE ROOM / 1X 2P BED
Hello I’m the
Willem Blaeu
Room
Own bathroom and a shared toilet.
I’m a private room. I’m great for a couple or two friends. I have two single beds that can be put together or separated. I have a shower and a sink. The toilet is in the hall, just two meters from the room. I’m located on the first floor of my boutique hostel.
// Hello I’m Willem Blaeu, together with my son Joan we were considered notable figures of the Dutch school of cartography in the golden age. Even though my dad was a successful herring salesman and wanted me to continue his business. I like mathematics and astronomy more. We were the official cartographers for the Dutch East-India Company. The VOC also acquired a monopoly on the publication of these maps. It was not in their interest that the British competition would be able to profit from the information. However, this monopoly didn’t turn out to be very effective: the VOC’s knowledge found its way to the general public, through for example Willem Blaeu’s 1635 world atlas.
