We are two persons, Mijndert and Hilleke, both in our fifties. We are very experienced with home exchanges, since 2003 (also with an other home exchange organization) more than 30 times (USA, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands) and we love traveling which we do a lot. Since we have started with exchanging homes we became enthusiast about it. We always take very good care of the homes we are staying in. And people who stay in our houseboat always tell us that is was a unique and wonderful stay on our houseboat Lindelij.
We are flexible with dates for an exchange and are not dependent on school holidays. Surprise us! We are open for many countries, in town as well as in the countryside, for one week as well as several weeks. Even for a long weekend if it is not to far to drive (the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany).
Furthermore we are always interested in taking care of houses for a longer period of 1 to 3 months, please mail us if you would like to discuss this.

Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
We live in a houseboat designed by an architect and built by ourselves. It is a modern houseboat with all comfort you need. It is large enough for 2 to 3 persons and has a split-level. It consists of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom (bath, separate shower and toilet) downstairs, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area upstairs and a large living room with a second toilet on the ground-floor. The master bedroom has a bed of 2.00m x 1.80m. The smaller bedroom has a single bed of 1.90m x 0.70m. Furthermore we have a large cellar.
On the waterside we have windows from ceiling to the floor which gives you a superb view on the canal and the green park with old trees opposite the houseboat. In fact, the park a part of a rampart. The park is nice and quiet and closes at night.
Our bikes are in front of the houseboat in a shed. You may park your car opposite the houseboat on the other side of the street.
We have modern design furniture, lots of books, and of cause wifi, television, central heating, oven, dishwasher and so on. All comfortably and cosy to have a nice stay!

Beschreibung unserer Nachbarschaft und Gegend
Our houseboat is situated in the beautiful centre of the historic university town Leiden (oldest university of The Netherlands). Opposite the houseboat, on the other side of the water, is a green quiet park with old trees and lots of birds. At night the park closes so it will be very quiet when sleeping. On the waterside the houseboat has large windows from ceiling to floor so there is a wide view on the park. You will see the ducks, swans and small boats come by. In summertime you might want to swim in the water. In fact, we always have the feeling to be on vacation all year round because of the nice green and quiet view and at the same time being in the middle of the city.
On the other side there is the street where you can park your car; parking is just across the street. On foot it will take only 5 minutes to walk to the supermarket, bakery and other shops as well as to various nice restaurants. As Leiden is a university town there are lots of bars, brasseries and also good restaurants. Hard to choose ;-) Also the different museums (13!) are all within walking or biking distance. We enjoy Leiden very much and really like to live on our houseboat in this town full of sights worth visiting.

Das sollten Sie sehen oder unternehmen, während Ihrem Tausch bei uns
Leiden has numerous sights, art galleries and museums (13!) to visit, nice small shops to go to and cafés / bars, restaurants and brasseries to have lunch, dinner or just a coffee or beer. You may also wander the streets and small alleys, visit the large Peterschurch (Pieterskerk) and its neighbourhood which is one of the nicest of Leiden. In Leiden we have the Hortus Botanicus from 1590, the oldest Hortus in The Netherlands. You can stroll the gardens or visit the observatory from 1633 where Einstein once had a look at the sky and which is nowadays still working.
Furthermore, don't forget to make a boat trip through the canals of Leiden, with a rented rowing boat or on a longboat that cruises all the canals and also passes our houseboat.
Within half an hour drive from Leiden you will have the sea, sandy beaches and dunes near Katwijk and Noordwijk, certainly worthwhile a visit to swim, walk and simply enjoy. There are numerous eating places (so-called 'strandtenten') where you can eat typical Dutch pancakes ('pannenkoeken') or have a drink.
And of cause you should visit Amsterdam, Delft or Utrecht.
You may borrow our bikes so you can easily make trips in Leiden and surroundings. We will leave you lots of information / brochures with suggestions to do.

Was wir mögen und was nicht… Dies sind unsere Wünsche und Hausregeln.
We have been exchanging for nearly 20 years now and did more than 20 exchanges. We visited many countries in Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Germany, UK, Belgium) and exchanged with nice people in Virginia - USA. Furthermore we did many exchanges in our own country The Netherlands.
As we are aware that we are a guest and stay in someones own house we will always take very good care of the house, garden and belongings. We keep it tidy and clean. The both of us don't smoke and we prefer that our guests don't smoke either. Unfortunately our houseboat is not suited for children, sorry about that.
The countryside, villages, historic cities, on the coast, at a lake, in the mountains - we love it all!
We like weekend-exchanges and 1 week to 4 weeks exchanges.
And we are always interested to take care of houses for a longer period of 1 to 3 months. We are very flexible and are not bound to school-holidays. We are open for suggestions, surprise us!
