Cido and Rob are our amazing landlords. They invited us for drinks and we had a lovely time. Susie took the picture.
They answered our questions:

The canal house right next to ours went for 1.5 million euros (2 million dollars approx.)! It is very expensive to live right in the city especially along the three historic canals.
-

-
Almost everyone sends their kids to public school and almost no one sends their kids to boarding school.

Cido was a dentist before she was a VRBO landlord.
