Resident Milly describes her living situation as a "nice quiet courtyard close to the centre", an image that recurs in the reviews. Soof adds a nuance: Didam is a top village for families with young children, but there is very little to do for teenagers. That is an honest signal for those considering renting a home here with growing children. The atmosphere is friendly and down-to-earth, as you find in many Achterhoek villages, but do not expect a vibrant nightlife or a wide cultural offering.
